2.0\,\text{kg}

block is released from rest at the top of a

1.5\,\text{m}

high friction-free ramp and then slides onto a horizontal surface where the coefficient of kinetic friction is

\mu_k = 0.20

. About how much horizontal distance will the block travel on the rough surface before stopping? (a)

5.0\text{ m}

(b)

15\text{ m}

(c)

7.5\text{ m}

(d)

10\text{ m}
