a sled of mass m is given a kick on a frozen pond. the kick imparts to it an initial speed of 2.00 m/s. the coefficient of kinetic friction between sled and ice is 0.100. use energy considerations to find the distance the sled moves before it stops.
Here is what I have so far but I am a little lost....Please provide further detail
Find the deceleration:
Fnet = Ffric
ma = umg
a = ug
a=(0.1)(9.8 m / s^2)
a=0.98 m / s^2
Since this is a deceleration rate, then it should be negative. Then,
a=-0.98 m / s^2
formula for displacement
d=[vf^2-vi^2 ]/[2a]
Since the sled will be stopping, then vf = 0 m/s. We now have
d=[(0 m / s-(m m / s ^2 ]/[2-0.98 m /s^2]
