On a frozen pond, a 11.7 kg sled is given a kick that imparts to it an initial speed of v0 = 2.01 m/s. The coefficient of kinetic friction between sled and ice is μk = 0.111. Use the work kinetic energy theorem to find the distance the sled moves before coming to rest.

Answer 1

1/2 mv^2 = Fd
F = (mu)mg
so d = v^2/2g(mu)
