An object of mass 2.0 kg is at rest on a rough horizontal plane. A constant force of magnitude 10 N acts on the
object and causes it to move in a straight line. The graph in Figure above shows how the velocity v of the object
varies with time t. At t = 2.0 s, the applied force is removed but the object continues to move forward. Determine
(a) the friction force, which is assumed to be constant throughout the motion of the object, that acts on
the object
(b) time T.
(c) the total distance travelled by the object when it comes to rest

An object A is placed on top of another object B, which lies on a rough horizontal plane. The masses of A and B
are 1.5 kg and 3.0 kg respectively. A horizontal force F pulls B so that both objects move at a constant
acceleration of 2.0 m s-2, as shown in Figure above. The coefficient of kinetic friction between B and the plane is
0.30. Determine the magnitude of F.
