In the winter sport of curling, two teams alternate sliding 20kg stones on an icy surface in an attempt to end up with the stone closest to the center of a target painted on the ice. During one turn, a player releases a stone that travels 27.9m before coming to rest. The friction force acting on the stone is 2.0N. What was the initial velocity of the stone?

Anna Shcherbakova is a 2022 Beijing Olympics figure skating gold medalist for ladies’ singles.After warming up she starts her practice by skating towards the middle of the ice rink, 14 metersfrom the entrance. However, this time, one of her friends decided to trick her by pushing hertowards the middle at a velocity of 1.2 m/s (disregard friction between the ice and her skates).Recovering from the shock 2 seconds after, she starts pushing herself forward at an accelerationof 0.5 m/s2. What velocity will she have when she reaches the middle of the rink?
