An object, previously at rest, slides #5 m# down a ramp, with an incline of #(3pi)/8 #, and then slides horizontally on the floor for another #15 m#. If the ramp and floor are made of the same material, what is the material's kinetic friction coefficient?
The coefficient of kinetic friction is
At the top of the ramp, the object possesses potential energy.
At the bottom of the ramp, part of the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy and the work done by the frictional force.
Therefore,
so,
On the horizontal part,
The deceleration is calculated with Newton's Second Law
We apply the equation of motion

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
