Distance and time required to stop a sliding unit?


A very heavy unit sitting on a plane at 1degree angle.... i checked that with friction only the unit will stop sliding

Vi = initial Velocity is 10m/hr
Vf = Final velocity is 0 (as it has stopped)
the question is hom much distance will it cover until stopping completely and how long will it take to stop.

Can anyone suggest a Software to model this?!?

thnx

Any good differential equation slover should do the job.
