Question

A full beer mug is slid across a polished bar top with an initial velocity of 1.80 m/s to a very thirsty customer sitting a distance of 3.00 meters away. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the bar and the mug is 0.2. Does it reach the customer, not reach her, or pass her? (Careful! You cannot assume the mugs stopping distance is 3 meters!! Use energy considerations.)

Answer 1

So the beer mug does not reaches the customer. It reaches only to a distance of 0.826 m from the bartender.
