Problem 8. Let's assume that a rock is sliding across the "Racetrack Playa" in Death Valley National Park and that it has an initial speed v. As a result of

kinetic friction, it comes to rest after traveling a distance d. Determine the stopping distance of the rock if it had started with an initial speed of 3v instead. You should be solving/explaining the answer to this using the Work Energy
