Question

A block of mass m = 94 kg slides along a horizontal surface. The coefficient of friction between the block and the surface is μk = 0.29. The block has an initial speed of vo = 25 m/s in the positive x-direction as shown.

a)Write an expression for the x-component of the frictional force the block experiences, Ff, in terms of the given variables and variables available in the palette. 

b)What is the magnitude of the frictional force in N? 

c)How far will the block travel, in meters, before coming to rest?
