Kinematics of motion in a straight line — practice question

A block with mass $6\,\text{kg}$ is moving down the line of greatest slope on a plane that is inclined at $8^{\circ}$ to the horizontal. The coefficient of friction between the block and the plane is $0.2$.
(i)[3]

Find the block’s deceleration.

(ii)[2]

If the block starts with speed $3\,\text{m s}^{-1}$, find the distance it travels.
