A 15g block is sliding along horizontal plane and is given an initial velocity. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the plane and the block is 0.3. How far does the block travel before coming to a complete stop?

Explanation:

The question is incomplete without a value for the initial velocity, which i assume you meant to say it is 4.65 m/s

we will begin by applying the newtons second law of motion stated below

Given data  

v = 0

u= 4.65 m/s

m= 15 g= 0.015 kg

μ= 0.3

we know that F= ma

  a = F/m

also F= -μR

and R= mg

i.e F= μmg

hence

a= -μmg/m = -μg  [minus sign because the acceleration is opposite the direction of motion]

Making s subject of formula we have

0 - u^2 = 2(-μg)s

s = U^2 / (2μg)

Substituting in the second equation of motion we have

 The block will go 3.67 meters before stopping

technology is the application of the knowledge gained by science.
