If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the puck and the ice is 0.05, how far does the puck slide before coming to rest? solve this problem using conservation of energy.

The puck slides about 26 m before coming to rest

Let's recall Kinetic Energy Formula as follows:

Ek = Kinetic Energy ( Joule )

m = mass of the object ( kg )

v = speed of the object ( m/s )

Let us now tackle the problem !

Complete Question:

A hockey puck is given an initial speed of 5.0 m/s. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the puck and the ice is 0.05, how far does the puck slide beofre coming to rest? (Solve this problem using conservation of energy in detail.)

Given:

initial speed of the puck = v = 5.0 m/s

coefficient of friction = μ = 0.05

we have been given a quadratic function and we need to restrict the domain such that it becomes a one to one function.

we know that vertex of this quadratic function occurs at (5,2).

further, we know that range of this function is .

if we restrict the domain of this function to either or , it will become one to one function.

let us know find its inverse.

upon interchanging x and y, we get:

let us now solve this function for y.

hence, the inverse function would be if we restrict the domain of original function to and the inverse function would be if we restrict the domain to .

the components of a vector are the parts of the vectors that are to each other.
