Homework Statement
A girl coasts down a hill on a sled, reaching level ground at the bottom with a speed of 6.2 m/s. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled’s runners and the hard, icy snow is 0.059, and the girl and sled together weigh 736 N.The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s2 .
How far does the sled travel on the level ground before coming to a rest?
Homework Equations
Vf^2 = Vi^2 + 2ax
Ffr (force friction) = Coefficient of friction * Fn (normal force)
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm thinking that I have to find the acceleration of the girl and the sled, but I don't think that I am given enough information necessary to solve for that. I just do not know how to approach the problem.
