A block is projected along a rough horizontal road at a speed of . Given that the coefficient of kinetic friction is , how far does the block travel before coming to a stop?
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
The initial velocity of the block is .
The final velocity of the block is .
The coefficient of kinetic friction is .
