It will continue to move about
Explanation:
In this case, kinetic friction is an opposing force directed opposite to the direction of motion.
For the above statement to be true, the acceleration acting on the object should be opposite (negative).
Forming an equation for frictional force,
where,
According to my second statement,
So,
Now, substituting value of a in,
for an object to come at rest, its final velocity(v) must be = 0
So,
Substituting the value of
We get
Hence, the object travels
Hope this helps !!!!
