A hockey puck leaves a player's stick with a speed of 8.60 and slides 38.0 before coming to rest. Find the coefficient of friction between the puck and the ice.

(1/2) M Vo^2 = (Friction force)*X
= M*g*mu*X
mu is the coefficient of kinetic friction.
mu = (1/2)Vo^2/(g X)
You need to say what the units of initial velocity (Vo) and distance (X) are. Just putting down numbers is not enough.
