In the sport of curling, the object is to slide a “stone” weighing 44 lb onto the center of a target located 31 yards from the point of release. In terms of the coordinate system shown, the point of release is at x = 0, y = 0. Suppose that a shot comes to rest at x = 31.0 yards, y = 1 yard. Assume that the coefficient of kinetic friction is constant and equal to μk = 0.01. What were the x and y components of the stone’s velocity at release?
