Answer

$v_f= 5.46m/s$

Work Step by Step

Finding acceleration: $F_{net}=Fgsin \theta -f $ $ma=mgsin \theta - μ_kF_N$ $ma=mgsin \theta - μ_kmgcos\theta$ $a=\frac{mgsin \theta - μ_kmgcos\theta}{m}$ $a=gsin \theta - μ_kgcos\theta$ $a=gsin \theta - μ_kgcos\theta$ $a=g(sin \theta - μ_kcos\theta)$ $a=9.8\times (sin 20^{\circ} - (0.1\times cos20^{\circ}))$ $a=2.43m/s^2$ Using acceleration to get the final velocity: $v^2_f= v_i^2 +2ad$ $v_f= \sqrt {v_i^2 +2ad}$ $v_f= \sqrt {0.457^2 +(2\times 2.43 \times 6.1)}$ $v_f= 5.46m/s$
