Problem 7-62 Energy cons. with friction - Part 3 - A
A pen of mass \(0.057 \;kg\) is sliding across a horizontal desk. In sliding \(25 \;cm\), its speed decreases to \(5.7 \;cm/s\). What was its initial speed if the force of kinetic friction exerted on the pen by the desk is \(0.15\; N\) in magnitude? Use conservation of energy.
No. That is \(PE.\)
