Homework Statement
Under which condition will the sliding stop? Show how you found this condition.
When the sliding stops, what distance will be traveled since t=0?
Relevant Equations
At t=0, its velocity is V0

Could you please help me with this? I guess move of the mass will be determined with kinetic friction.

What are your thoughts? How does this relate to what you have been studying?

You must make a serious attempt at the problem yourself before we can help.

Static friction is N=mg*costheta as far as I know.

That's the normal force due to gravity. How is kinetic friction related to that.

Also, have you learned about free body diagrams?

What force is sliding it down the ramp and what is that force equal to if the block is stopped?
