S=16.67" " mS=16.67 m

Explanation:

"Friction Force: " F_f=U_k*m*gFriction Force: Ff=Ukmg

F_f=3/cancel(g)*m*cancel(g)

F_f=3*m

"deceleration of object : " a=F_f/m" The Newton's second law"

a=(3*cancel(m))/cancel(m)

a=3 m/s^3

v_f^2=v_i^2-2*a*S

v_f=0
v_i=10m/s
a=3m/s^2
S=?

0=10^2-2*3*S

100=6*S

S=100/6=50/3

S=16.67" " m
