Rough horizontal plane - example (3)
Example 3 (Particle being projected along a horizontal plane - Take care with the signs)
A particle of mass 2 kg is projected along along a horizontal surface with a speed of 4 metres per second and comes to rest after travelling in a straight line for 8 metres. Calculate the resistance to motion and the deceleration of the particle which is assumed to remain constant.
