Answer:
x = 1.63 m
Explanation:
mass (m) = 10 kg
μk = 0.3
velocity (v) = 3.1 m/s
Assuming that most of the computers weight is applied on the belt instantaneously, we can apply the constant acceleration equation below
x = [tex]v^{2}/2a[/tex]
where a = μk.g , therefore
x = [tex]v^{2}[/tex]/2μk.g
x = (3.1 x 3.1)/(2 x 0.3 x 9.8)
x = 1.63 m
