A small block of mass 170 g starts at rest at A, slides to B where its speed is vB = 6.6 m/s, then slides along the horizontal surface a distance 13 m before coming to rest at C. (See below.) (a) What is the work of friction along the curved surface (in J)? J (b) What is the coefficient of kinetic friction along the horizontal surface?
