A counter attendant in a diner shoves a ketchup bottle with mass of 0.25kg along a smooth level lunch counter. The bottle leaves her hand with an initial velocity of 4 m/s as it slides. It slows down because of the horizontal friction force exerted on it by the countertop. The bottle slides a distance of 3m before coming to rest. What are the magnitude and the direction of the friction force acting on it? Show your work that leads to the answer. Explain each step in your work.

Consider a pair of masses m1 and m2 connected by a non-stretchable string that runs over a frictionless pulley as shown on the figure on the right. If the coefficient of the kinetic friction between m1 and on the horizontal surface on which it initially rest is μk, find its resulting acceleration magnitude in terms of m1, m2, and μk, when the system is released. Assume that air resistance is negligible and m2 > μk m1. Show the complete and thorough solution in a clean paper
