Determine the stopping distance for a skier moving down a slope with friction with an initial speed of 19.0 m/s . Assume that θ = 5.62 deg, g=9.81 m/s2, and that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the skier and the slope is 0.289. Suppose the temperature drops by 2 degrees C and the skier waxes her skis; the coefficient of kinetic friction drops to 0.173. What is now the stopping distance, for the same initial velocity?
