A box is sliding with a constant speed of 4.00 m>s inthe +x-direction on a horizontal, frictionless surface. At x = 0 thebox encounters a rough patch of the surface, and then the surface becomeseven rougher. Between x = 0 and x = 2.00 m, the coefficientof kinetic friction between the box and the surface is 0.200; betweenx = 2.00 m and x = 4.00 m, it is 0.400. What is the x-coordinate of the point where the box comes to rest?
