Question

An encyclopedia, with a mass of 3 kg, slides right towards a frictionless horizontal surface with 5m/s as its initial velocity. It then suddenly come across a rough section with 0=0.25, kinetic friction coefficient. How far does it travel along the rough surface before coming to rest? (Use g=9.8m/s2 as needed) a. 4.4 m b. NONE c. 5.1 m d. 3.7 m e. 2.9 m

Step 1

Given: Mass (m) = 3 kg Initial velocity (v) = 5 m/s Initial Kinetic Energy = 0.5 * m * v^2 Initial Kinetic Energy = 0.5 * 3 * 5^2 Initial Kinetic Energy = 0.5 * 3 * 25 Initial Kinetic Energy = 37.5 J Show more…
