In the winter sport of curling, two teams alternate sliding 20 kg stones on an icy surface in an attempt to end up with the stone closest to the center of a target painted on the ice. During one turn, a player releases a stone that travels 27.9 m before coming to rest. The friction force acting on the stone is 2.0 N. What was the speed of the stone when the player released it?

Sliding on the Ice In the winter sport of curling, players give a 20 kg stone a push across a sheet of ice. The Slone moves approximately 40 m before coming to rest. The final position of the stone, in principle, onlyndepends 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...
