What is the minimum stopping distance for a vehicle of mass moving with speed along a level road if the coefficient of friction between the tyres and the road is ?

A block of mass another mass are placed together (see figure) on an inclined plane with the angle of inclination Various values are given in List The coefficient of friction between the block and the plane is always zero. The coefficient of static and dynamic friction between the block and the plane is equal to. In List, an expression for the friction on block given. Match the correct expression of the friction in List with the angles given in List and choose the correct option. The acceleration due to gravity is denoted by [useful information:

Assertion: While drawing a line on a paper, friction force acts on paper in the same direction along which line is drawn on the paper.
Reason: Friction always opposes motion.

Assertion: A man and a block rest on smooth horizontal surface. The man holds a rope which is connected to block. The man cannot move on the horizontal surface.
Reason: A man standing at rest on smooth horizontal surface can start walking due to absence of friction (the man is only in contact with floor as shown).

Assertion : A block of mass is kept on rough fixed horizontal surface as shown. The coefficient of friction between block and horizontal surface is . Then the magnitude of minimum horizontal force required to move the block is Newton (Take )
Reason : A block is kept on fixed rough horizontal surface. The limiting value of friction force is given by , where is coefficient of kinetic friction (between the block and the horizontal surface) and is normal reaction on block due to horizontal surface.

A block of mass is in contact with the cart as shown in the figure.
The coefficient of static friction between the block and the cart is . The acceleration of the cart that will prevent the block from failing satisfies the equation,
