19) An Olympic skier moving at 20m/s down a 30degree slope encounters a region of wet snow, of coefficient of friction, .74
a. How far down the slope does he go before stopping?
I know the answer is 144m, but how do I get there?
b. How much mechanical energy is lost in this process?
1/2(3.06)(20)^2 + (3.06)(9.8)(72)
612+ 2159.136 = 2771.136J lost
