In the figure shown, upper block is given a velocity of `6 m//s` and lower block. `3 m//s`. When relative motion between them is stopped

A

Work done by friction on upper block is –10 J

B

Work done by friction on lower block is + 10 J

C

Net work done by friction on the system is zero

D

Net work done by friction on the system is – 3 J

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, D
From conservation of linear momentum,
`(1+2) v = (6 xx 1) + (2 xx 3)`
`v = 4m//s` (of both the blocks)
From work energy theorem i.e., `W_("Total") = Delta KE`
On 1 kg block,`W_(f) = 1/2 xx 1 (4^2 - 6^2) = -10 J`
On 2 kg block, `W_(f) = 1/2 xx 2(4^2 - 3^2) = +7 J " "` Net work done by friction is –3J.

Block A of mass 5kg is placed on long block B having a mass of 5kg . The coefficient of friction between two block is 0.4 . There is no friction between the ground and lower block. The upper block is given a sudden velocity of 10m//s . The upper block slides toward right, so friction force acting on it will be toward left. Its reaction wall act on the lower block, which will act forward . The friction force absorbs x mechanical energy from upper block but supply only y mechanical energy to lower block. Due to friction the velocity of upper block reduces and velocity of lower block increases. This will continue till velocity of both the block get equal. Which curve shows the correct variation of velocity of each block v//s time?
