(In solving this part of the question draw a free-body diagram with all of the forces labelled. Use a rectangle to represent the baseball player. Also, assume the player is moving to the right while sliding.) B) If the player comes to rest after 1.5 s, what must have been the initial speed of the player?

Instructions Use g = 10 m/s2 Always answer in standard units (SI units). Unless otherwise instructed. Answer to 2 decimal places. Unless otherwise instructed. A) One way to determine the coefficients of friction (μs and μk) between two surfaces is to use an incline plane. Consider a block of mass m = 2.0kg initially at rest at the top of the ramp. The angle θ is increased slowly. The object starts to slide down the ramp when the angle is 40 degree. Determine the value of μs. B) From the above problem, the block slides down the slope with an incline angle of 40 degree, the angle is kept constant. The block starts from rest and travels along the ramp by distance d = 2.0 m in time t = 1.5 s. Determine the value of μk
