MCAT-Style Passage Problems Sliding on the Ice In the winter sport of curling, players give a 20 kg stone a push across a sheet of ice. The stone moves approximately 40 m before coming to rest. The final position of the stone, in principle, only depends on the initial speed at which it is launched and the force of friction between the ice and the stone, but team members can use brooms to sweep the ice in front of the stone to adjust its speed and trajectory a bit; they must do this without touching the stone. Judicious sweeping can lengthen the travel of the stone by 3m. 80. Suppose the stone’s mass is increased to 40 kg, but it is launched at the same 3 m/s. Which one of the following is true? A. The stone would now travel a longer distance before coming to rest. B. The stone would now travel a shorter distance before coming to rest. C. The coefficient of friction would now be greater. D. The force of friction would now be greater.

Definition Definition Force that opposes motion when the surface of one item rubs against the surface of another. The unit of force of friction is same as the unit of force.
I do not understand the process to answer the second part of question b. Please help me understand how to get there!
Rank the six combinations of electric charges on the basis of the electric force acting on 91. Define forces pointing to the right as positive and forces pointing to the left as negative.
Rank in increasing order by placing the most negative on the left and the most positive on the right. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them.
