The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

The correct option is (B): 1.5 ms-2
\(F_s=ma\)
\(f_L=ma_{max}\)
\(\mu\,mg=ma_{max}\)
\(a_{max}=\mu g\)
\(=0.15(10)\)
\(=1.5\,m/s^2\)

Acceleration

In the real world, everything is always in motion. Objects move at a variable or a constant speed. When someone steps on the accelerator or applies brakes on a car, the speed of the car increases or decreases and the direction of the car changes. In physics, these changes in velocity or directional magnitude of a moving object are represented by acceleration
