Question:

A bag is gently dropped on a conveyor belt moving at a speed of 2 m/s. The coefficient of friction between the conveyor belt and bag is 0.4. Initially the bag slips on the belt before it stops due to friction. The distance travelled by the bag on the belt during slipping motion, is 

[Take g = 10 m/s2]

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

The correct option is(B): 0.5 m

v = 2 m/s

μ = 0.4

a = +(0.4) (g)= + 4 m/s2

v2u2 = 2 

⇒ (4) = 2 × (4) (s)

s = 0.5 m

Rotational Motion

Rotational motion can be defined as the motion of an object around a circular path, in a fixed orbit.

Rotational Motion Examples:

The wheel or rotor of a motor, which appears in rotation motion problems, is a common example of the rotational motion of a rigid body.

Other examples:

  • Moving by Bus
  • Sailing of Boat
  • Dog walking
  • A person shaking the plant.
  • A stone falls straight at the surface of the earth.
  • Movement of a coin over a carrom board 

Types of Motion involving Rotation:

  1. Rotation about a fixed axis (Pure rotation)
  2. Rotation about an axis of rotation (Combined translational and rotational motion)
  3. Rotation about an axis in the rotation (rotating axis)
