Question
A vehicle is moving along the positive x-direction, if a sudden brake is applied, then ______
Options
the frictional force acting on the vehicle is along negative x-direction
the frictional force acting on the vehicle is along the positive x-direction
no frictional force acts on the vehicle
the frictional force acts in a downward direction
Solution
A vehicle is moving along the positive x-direction, if a sudden brake is applied, then the frictional force acting on the vehicle is along the negative x-direction.

The rough surface of a horizontal table offers a definite maximum opposing force to initiate the motion of a block along with the table, which is proportional to the resultant normal force given by the table. Forces F1 and F2 act at the same angle T with the horizontal and both are just initiating the sliding motion of the block along with the table. Force F1 is a pulling force while the force F2 is a pushing force. F2 > F1, because
