5. A 19.0 kg curling stone leaves a player's hand with a speed of 6.00 m/s. The rock slides along the ice, slowing down due to kinetic friction until it comes to rest. If the coefficient of kinetic friction acting on the stone is 0.120, find the distance the stone travels before it comes to rest using energy principles. (15.3 m)
