A child slides down a snow‑covered slope on a sled. At the top of the slope, her mother gives her a push to start her off with a speed of 0.85 m/s. The frictional force acting on the sled is one‑fifth of the combined weight of the child and the sled. If she travels for a distance of 23.5 m and her speed at the bottom is 3.75 m/s, calculate the angle that the slope makes with the horizontal.

slope angle with the horizontal: _____________________________
