Question

A block of mass m = 0.5 kg suffers a collision that gives it an initial horizontal speed of 6 m/s. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface on which it slides is µc = 0.1. What is the work done by the friction force until the block stops?

Step 1

First, we need to find the friction force acting on the block. The friction force can be calculated using the formula: F_friction = µc * F_normal Since the block is sliding on a horizontal surface, the normal force is equal to its weight: F_normal = m * Show more…
