A force F=20N is applied to a block at rest as shown.After the block has moved a distance of 8m to the right, the direction of horizontal component of the force F is reversed.Find distance travelled before block stops after the F is reversed.

Answer:
Figure shows the forces acting on 2 kg block.
 
In vertical direction, we have,  N + F sin37 = 2g .........(1)
where N is normal reaction force, we get N = 2g- Fsin37 = 2×9.8 - 20×.6 = 7.6 Newton
 
hence in horizontal direction, we have, F×cos37 - μ×N = m×a .........(2)
where μ is the coefficent of friction and a is acceleration 
 
we substitute values in eqn.(2) and get a = 7.05 m/s2
 
Starting from rest, if the block moves 8 m with acceleration a, then speed v of block after travelling 8 m is given by ,
 
v = begin mathsize 12px style square root of 2 cross times a cross times S end root space equals square root of 2 cross times 7.05 cross times 8 end root space equals space 10.62 space m divided by s end style
after moving 8m distance, if the horizontal component reversed, the applied force gives retardation to the movement of block.
 
when the horizontal component is reversed but still the block is moving implies that
frictional force and applied force both are in same direction. hence retardation ar is given by
 
F×cos37 + μ×N = m×a.....................(3)
Hence ar = 8.95 m/s2  
 
Distance travelled before stopping :- S = u2 / (2ar ) = (10.62×10.62)/(2×8.95) = 6.3 m
