Questions  

A man is running on ground the coefficient of friction between man and ground is Î¼. 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 Î¼g

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 Î¼mg hence maximum acceleration will be Î¼g.
