A 10 kg dog runs across the ground and jumps onto an ice-covered pond at 5 m/s. If the force of friction acting on the dog is 8 N, how far will the dog slide before coming to rest?

15.625m

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion

v² = u²+2as

u and v are the initial and final velocities

a is the acceleration

s is the distance

Get the acceleration

According to Newton's second law;

F  = ma

8 = 10a

a = 8/10

a = 0.8m/s²

We are also given

v = 5m/s

u = 0m/s

Substitute into the formula above

v² = u²+2as

5² = 0²+2(0.8)s

25 = 1.6s

s = 25/1.6

s = 15.625m

Hence the dog will cover a distance of 15.625m before coming to rest
