A block of mass m = 98 kg slides along a horizontalsurface. The coefficient of friction between the block and thesurface is μk = 0.38. The block has an initialspeed of vo = 13 m/s in the positivex-direction as shown.
a) write an expression for x-component of the frictional forcethe block experiences, F(f), in terms of the given variables andvariables available in the palette
b) what is the magnitude of the frictional force in N?
c) How far will the block travel, in meters, before coming torest?
