A hockey puck struck by a hockey stick is given an initial speed \(v_i\) in the positive \(x\)-direction. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the ice and the puck is \(\mu_k\).(a) Obtain an expression for the acceleration of the puck as it slides across the ice. , (b) Use the result of part (a) to obtain an expression for the distance \(d\) the puck slides. The answer should be in terms of the variables \(v_i\), \(\mu_k\), and \(g\) only. :

\(a = -\mu_k g\) \(d = \dfrac{v_i^2}{2\mu_k g}\)
