The acceleration of a train starting from rest at any instant is 1/6(V + 1) m/sec² where ‘V’ is the velocity of the train in m/sec. The train will attain a velocity of 36 km/hour after travelling a distance of
The force of friction always acts in a direction opposite to that in which a body is moving
The magnitude of the kinetic friction bears a constant ratio to the normal reaction between two surfaces. The ratio being slightly less than that in the case of limiting friction
All of these
For moderate speeds the force of friction remains constant but decreases slightly with the increase of speed
