A block is sliding on gym floor. The coefficient of static and kinetic friction between the block and the floor are 0.40.4and 0.070.07 respectively. If the block is initially traveling at 3 m/s3\ m/s find the total distance the block must travel to stop. Draw and label a FBD for both the initial state and the final state.

Using the equations and problem-solving steps: Police chase
Let's illustrate the use of kinematic equations and problem-solving steps with an example.
A vehicle travelling 130 km/h passes a police car at rest. As soon as the vehicle passes the police car, the police car turns its lights on and begins to accelerate to its maximum speed of 140 km/h.

I over-packed a box and it weighs 50kg. I'm pulling it across a rough surface at an angle of 45 degrees above the horizontal with a force of 280N. The coefficient of kinetic friction of the floor is 0.5. I pull for 10 seconds, the box speeds up from rest, I release it and it continues to slide to a halt. What is its maximum speed? How long until it stops? What is the box's total displacement?
