I got the first part done but I am getting confused with B because I know the work done by the push - force by my friction should equal the force done by my cousins force by friction..I know I am right there I just can't put the equation together because I am getting stuck any help Please
Suppose that the coefficient of friction between your feet and the floor, while wearing socks, is 0.250. Knowing this, you decide to get a running start and then slide across the floor.
a) If your speed is 3.00 m/s when you start to slide, what distance d will you slide before stopping?
F*d = 1/2mv^2
.250m(9.8 )*d = 1/2m(3)^2
d = 1/2(3)^2 / .25(9.8 )
d = 1.8367 m
b) Now, suppose that your young cousin sees you sliding and takes off her shoes so that she can slide as well (assume her socks have the same coefficient of friction as yours). Instead of getting a running start, she asks you to give her a push. So, you push her with a force of 125 N over a distance of 1.00 m. If her mass is 20.0 kg, what distance d does she slide (i.e., how far does she move after the push ends)? Remember that the friction force is acting anytime that she is moving.
