The distance is $= 0.63 m s^{- 1}$ $=0.63ms^-1$

Explanation:

Taking the direction up and parallel to the plane as positive $↗^{+}$ $↗^+$

The coefficient of kinetic friction is $μ_{k} = \frac{F_{r}}{N}$ $mu_k=F_r/N$

Then the net force on the object is

$F = - F_{r} - W sin θ$ $F=-F_r-Wsintheta$

$= - F_{r} - m g sin θ$ $=-F_r-mgsintheta$

$= - μ_{k} N - m g sin θ$ $=-mu_kN-mgsintheta$

$= m μ_{k} g cos θ - m g sin θ$ $=mmu_kgcostheta-mgsintheta$

According to Newton's Second Law

$F = m \cdot a$ $F=m*a$

Where $a$ $a$ is the acceleration
So

$m a = - μ_{k} g cos θ - m g sin θ$ $ma=-mu_kgcostheta-mgsintheta$

$a = - g (μ_{k} cos θ + sin θ)$ $a=-g(mu_kcostheta+sintheta)$

The coefficient of kinetic friction is $μ_{k} = \frac{5}{6}$ $mu_k=5/6$

The incline of the ramp is $θ = \frac{1}{4} π$ $theta=1/4pi$

$a = - 9.8 \cdot (\frac{5}{6} cos (\frac{1}{4} π) + sin (\frac{1}{4} π))$ $a=-9.8*(5/6cos(1/4pi)+sin(1/4pi))$

$= - 12.7 m s^{- 2}$ $=-12.7ms^-2$

The negative sign indicates a deceleration

We apply the equation of motion

$v^{2} = u^{2} + 2 a s$ $v^2=u^2+2as$

$u = 4 m s^{- 1}$ $u=4ms^-1$

$v = 0$ $v=0$

$a = - 12.7 m s^{- 2}$ $a=-12.7ms^-2$

$s = \frac{v^{2} - u^{2}}{2 a}$ $s=(v^2-u^2)/(2a)$

$= \frac{0 - 16}{- 2 \cdot 12.7}$ $=(0-16)/(-2*12.7)$

$= 0.63 m$ $=0.63m$
