A bug slides back and forth in a bowl 15 cm deep, starting from rest at the top, as shown below. The bowl is frictionless except for a 1.4-cm-wide sticky patch on its flat bottom, where the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.89. How many times does the bug completely cross the sticky region? 15 cm 1.4 cm
