Questions  

A man is running on ground the coefficient of friction between man and ground is μ. Assume that the center of mass of man moves horizontally Then which statement is incorrect :

a
Normal reaction between man and ground is equal to weight of man
b
Direction of friction on man is in the direction of motion of man
c
Direction of friction on man is opposite to the direction of motion of man
d
Maximum acceleration of man can be μg

detailed solution

Correct option is C

When  a man runs on the ground he applies a force backward direction friction prevents the motion in the backward direction by acting in the forward direction and its maximum applied force is  ma, must be equal to μmg hence maximum acceleration will be μg.
