"First; let's calculate the friction force:"First; let's calculate the friction force:
F_f=u_k*GFf=ukG
G:"weight of object G=m.g"G:weight of object G=m.g
u_k:" coefficient of friction"uk: coefficient of friction

F_f=u_k*m*gFf=ukmg

F_f=20/g*m*gFf=20gmg

F_f=20mFf=20m

a=F_f/ma=Ffm

a=(20m)/m " "a=20 m/s^2 " acceleration of object"a=20mm a=20ms2 acceleration of object

"when object is stops ,the final velocity of its is zero"when object is stops ,the final velocity of its is zero

v_f^2=v_i^2-2*a*Sv2f=v2i2aS

v_f:"final velocity"vf:final velocity
v_i:"initial velocity"vi:initial velocity
a:"acceleration"a:acceleration
"S:"displacement"S:displacement

0=3^2-2*20*S0=32220S

9=40*S9=40S

S=9/40S=940

S=0.225 mS=0.225m
