A block of mass 1kg is given a velocity of 5m/s on a horizontal flat surface. What will be the change in internal energy of the block-surface system, when the block comes to rest. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.3 and coefficient of static friction is 0.4.(a) 25J(b) 12.5J(c) 0(d) 30JThe question was asked in an internship interview.This intriguing question comes from First Law of Thermodynamics topic in chapter Thermodynamics of Physics – Class 11

Answer»

Right OPTION is (B) 12.5J

The best explanation: The kinetic ENERGY of the BLOCK will change into internal energy of the system.

Initial kinetic energy = 0.5*1*25 = 12.5J.

Therefore the internal energy change = 12.5J.
