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. :

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