Problem

A 2.0 kg2.0\,\text{kg} block is sliding on a horizontal surface at 3.0 m s−13.0\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-1}. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface is 0.150.15. Take g=9.8 m s−2g = 9.8\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-2}. Calculate the distance the block travels before coming to rest.
