If an object is moving at 24 m/s24ms over a surface with a kinetic friction coefficient of u_k=6 /guk=6g, how far will the object continue to move?

"48 m"48 m

Explanation:

Kind friction (ff) acting on object = μ_kmg

Retardation (a) of object = f/m = μ_k g"

Object will move to a distance S

S = u^2 / "2a" = u^2 / (2mu_kg) = ("24 m/s")^2 / (2 × 6/cancel"g" xx cancel"g") = "48 m"
