Worked Solution

Step 1: Identify the forces acting on a sliding object. Step [2-9]: Friction acts in the opposite direction to motion. Step [2-9]: Friction eventually consumes the kinetic energy, causing the object to stop.

Correct answer: Frictional force between the block and table opposed the motion.
