Problem

A 60 kg60\,\text{kg} sled is gliding across a level, icy lake at 5.0 m ⁣⋅ ⁣s−15.0\,\text{m}\!\cdot\!\text{s}^{-1}. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled and ice is μk=0.10\mu_k = 0.10. Approximately how far will the sled travel before coming to rest? (a) 6.4 m6.4\,\text{m} (b) 13 m13\,\text{m} (c) 25 m25\,\text{m} (d) 8.6 m8.6\,\text{m}
