The boat was pushed at a speed of 6 m / s. What path will it take to stop if the coefficient of friction is 0.9?

Task data: V0 (speed with which the boat was pushed (initial speed)) = 6 m / s; μ (coefficient of friction) = 0.9.

Reference values: g (acceleration due to gravity) ≈ 10 m / s2.

The path that this boat will travel to a complete stop is determined by the formula: S = (V0 ^ 2 – V ^ 2) / 2a = (V0 ^ 2 – 0) / (2 * μ * g) = V0 ^ 2 / (2 * μ * g).

Let’s perform the calculation: S = 6 ^ 2 / (2 * 0.9 * 10) = 2 m.

Answer: This boat will pass 2 meters to the stop.
