If an object is moving at 3 m/s3ms over a surface with a kinetic friction coefficient of u_k=5 /guk=5g, how far will the object continue to move?

Here KE of the object = Work done against the force of kinetic friction
So u_kxxmxxgxxd=1/2*m*v^2uk×m×g×d=12mv2
Where u_k= 5/guk=5g
m="mass",v="velocity"m=mass,v=velocity
g="acceleration due to gravity=9.8m/s^2
d= "distance traversed"

u_kxxmxxgxxd=1/2*m*v^2
5/gxxcancel(m)xxgxxd=1/2*cancel(m)*v^2
d=v^2/10=3^2/10=0.9m
