The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

The correct option is (A): 5N.

On the horizontal surface of a truck a block of mass 1 kg is placed

frL = µs.N pseudo force = ma
     = µs.mg          = 1 × 5 
     = 0.6 ×1 × 10     F = 5 N 
     = 6N
∴ F < frL block does not move 
static firction = applied force 
\(\Rightarrow\) fr = 5N

Motion in a Plane

It is a vector quantity. A vector quantity is a quantity having both magnitude and direction. Speed is a scalar quantity and it is a quantity having a magnitude only. Motion in a plane is also known as motion in two dimensions. 

Equations of Plane Motion

The equations of motion in a straight line are:

v=u+at

s=ut+½ at2

v2-u2=2as

Where,

  • v = final velocity of the particle
  • u = initial velocity of the particle
  • s = displacement of the particle
  • a = acceleration of the particle
  • t = the time interval in which the particle is in consideration
