Problem 6-7 Friction coefficient - C

A hockey puck travels 33m along an ice rink before coming to rest. Its initial speed was 11m/s.

(a) What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the puck?
(b) What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the puck and the ice?


Accumulated Solution

Diagram of puck with speed and direction indicated.

vx2=v0x2+2axx


Correct.

Before proceeding, calculate the acceleration in the x direction.
