Two football players are pushing a 60 kg blocking sled across the field at a constant speed of 2.0 m/s. the coefficient of kinetic friction between the grass and the sled is 0.30. once they stop pushing, how far will the sled slide before coming to rest?

The sled slides d=0.155 meters before rest.

Explanation:

m= 60 kg

V= 2 m/s

μ= 0.3

g= 9.8 m/s²

W= m * g

W= 588 N

Fr= μ* W

Fr= 176.4 N

∑F = m * a

a= (W+Fr)/m

a= 12.74m/s²

t= V/a

t= 0.156 s

d= V*t - a*t²/2

d= 0.155 m

d

explanation:

v=uf/(u-f)
