Question

A hockey puck is hit on a frozen lake and starts moving with a speed of 13.80 m/s. Exactly 6.7 s later, its speed is 7.10 m/s.

a) what is the puck's average acceleration?

b) what is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the puck and the ice?
acceleration=changevelocity/time

forcefriction=mass*a you know a, and mass

force friction=mu*mg

mu*g=a
solve for mu.
