Problem

A tennis ball rolls along a rough surface. Initially the ball has a speed v. After a distance d the speed has been reduced to v/2. What total distance will the tennis ball travel? Assume that the rough surface applies a constant force to the tennis ball. a) 2d b) 3d c) 7d3\frac{7d}{3} d) d+d2d + \frac{d}{2} e) 4d3\frac{4d}{3}
