An object glides on a horizontal tabletop with a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.5. If its initial velocity is 4.3 m/s, how long does it take for the object to come to rest

Time, t = 0.87 seconds

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity of the object, u = 4.3 m/s

The coefficient of kinetic friction between horizontal tabletop and the object is 0.5

We need to find the time taken by the object for the object to come to rest i.e. final velocity will be 0.

Using first equation of motion to find it as :

a is the acceleration, here,

So, the time taken by the object to come at rest is 0.87 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.

the answer is 3.1 his answer is wrong mines is right
