A stone resting on a frozen pond is given an initial speed v; in the +x-direction. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the ice and the stone is µy. (a) Write an expression for the acceleration of the stone as it slides across the frozen pond. (Use the following as necessary: µ, and g. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) ax = Write Newton's second law in the y-direction to determine the normal force, then write the second-law equation in the x-direction. Notice that there is only one force acting on the stone: f̟ = µ̟n. Solve your equation for the acceleration. (b) Use your result to write an expression for the distance d the stone slides, using v;, µk, and g only. d = 2ug Use the time-independent kinematics equation and the acceleration from part (a) to determine the distance the stone travels before coming to a stop. Note that = 0.
