how are you supposed to find acceleration with those given variables. No matter how many equations i plug in and substitute i always end up with two variables...

Ff = Fs x Fn
Ff = Fs x mg, m = F/a
Ff = Fs x F(g)/a, a = -Vo/t
Ff = Fs x F(g) x t/-Vo

Weight = mg Normal force = N = weight = mg Friction force = f = 0.1 N = 0.1 mg

F = ma
0.1 mg = ma
0.1 g = a

You know g, and the unknown mass mas automagically disappeared. Presumably you need to find either the time or distance required to stop next.
