Problem

A block of mass 2.6 kg2.6 \text{ kg} is projected with initial speed 18 m s−118 \text{ m s}^{-1} along a rough horizontal plane. The dynamic coefficient of friction between the block and the plane is 0.350.35 . (a) After how much time will the block stop? (b) What distance will the block cover? (c) Without further calculations, state how the answers to a and b would change, if at all, when the experiment is repeated with a block of double the mass.
