Problem

A 5 kg5\,\text{kg} block is projected up a rough plane inclined at 30∘30^{\circ} to the horizontal with an initial speed of 3 m/s3\,\text{m/s}. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is 0.300.30. Take g=10 m/s2g = 10\,\text{m/s}^2. How far up the plane will the block move before coming momentarily to rest? (a) 0.90 m0.90\,\text{m} (b) 0.60 m0.60\,\text{m} (c) 0.30 m0.30\,\text{m} (d) 0.56 m0.56\,\text{m}
