Assertion: A car moving on a horizontal road may be thrown out of the road in taking a turn due to lack of proper centripetal force.
Reason: If a particle moves in a circle, describing equal angles in equal intervals of time. Then the velocity vector changes its magnitude.


Important Questions on Friction
Calculate the work done in pulling an object with a constant force as shown in the figure so that the block moves with a constant velocity through a distance . (given that the ground is rough with a coefficient of friction )

A car is moving along a hilly road as shown (side view). The coefficient of static friction between the tyres and the pavement is constant and the car maintains a steady speed. If at one of the points shown the driver applies brakes as hard as possible without making the tyres slip, the magnitude of the frictional force immediately after the brakes are applied will be maximum if the car was at :
