Homework Statement
A block of mass 4.2 kg which has an initial velocity of 3.3 m/s at time t=0, slides on a horizontal surface.
If a constant friction force of 10.2N is exerted on the block by the surface, what is the acceleration?
Homework Equations
Work Energy Theorum?
.5 m vo2 - .5 m v22
v = vo + at
The Attempt at a Solution
I found the kinetic energy of the block, then subtracted the 10.2N of friction. Then I solved for the second velocity. I plugged this into the acceleration equasion, but the answer was not correct? Can anyone help me?
