A loaded dogsled has a mass of 400kg and is being pulled across a horizontal, paced snow surface at a velocity of 4.0m/s (N). Suddenly, the harness separates from the sled. If the coefficient of kinetic friction for the sled on the snow is 0.0500, how far will the sled coast before stopping?

Solve this equation for X:

Initial kinetic energy = work done aqainst friction

(1/2) M*Vo^2 = M*g *Uk * X

M cancels out. Uk = 0.050
