Obtain the coefficient of friction between cheese and ice

Reference no: EM13541498

Bored, a boy shoots his pellet gun at a piece of cheese that sits, keeping cool for dinner guests, on a massive block of ice. On one particular shot, his 1.0 g pellet gets stuck in the cheese, causing it to slide 25 cm before coming to a stop. If the muzzle velocity of the gun is 61 m/s and the cheese has a mass of 108 g, what is the coefficient of friction between the cheese and ice?
