The coefficient of kinetic friction between a floor and a box made of wood is µk = 0.13. How far does the box slide if it has an initial speed of v0 = 7.0 m/s?

s = 19.23 m

Explanation:

Since, the frictional force is given as:

f = μN = μW

f = μmg   equation (1)

but, from Newton's 2nd Law:

f = ma   equation (2)

comparing equation (1) and equation (2):

ma = μmg

a = μg

here,

a = acceleration of puck

μ = coefficient of static friction = 0.13

g = -9.8 m/s² (negative sign for slowing down of puck)

Therefore,

a = (0.13)(-9.8 m/s²)

a = -1.274 m/s²

Now, using 3rd equation of motion:

2as = Vf² - Vi²

where,

s = distance covered = ?

Vf = Final Velocity = 0 m/s (since, puck finally stops)

Vi = Initial Velocity = 7 m/s

Therefore,

2(- 1.274 m/s²)s = (0 m/s)² - (7 m/s)²

s = (- 49 m²/s²)/(- 2.548 m/s²)

s = 19.23 m

increasing transnational kinetic energy. because the transnational kinetic energy formula consists of only two variables, mass and velocity, increasing one of those properties is the only way to increase an object's transnational kinetic energy. increases to mass and velocity, however, do not have the same impact.
