A 5,0 kg block starts sliding from rest, at a height of 1,0 m on a slope of 15º, without friction. After it leaves the slope it slides over a horizontal table top where the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0,25. Calculate the total distance that the block covers from when it starts sliding to when it stops.
