Question

A 6.0-kg block initially at rest is pulled to the right along a horizontal surface by a constant horizontal force of magnitude 12 N.
(A) Find the speed of the block after it has moved 3.0 m if the surfaces in contact have a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.15.                                          (B) Suppose the force F is applied at an angle θ as shown in (8.8b). At what angle should the force be applied to achieve the largest possible speed after the block has moved 3.0 m to the right?
