Question
A student of mass 59.4 kg, starting at rest, slides down a slide 23.2 m long, tilted at an angle of 28.1° with respect to the horizontal. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the student and the slide is 0.113, find the
(a) the force of kinetic friction (in N)
N
(b) the acceleration (in m/s2)
m/s2
(c) the speed she is traveling (in m/s)
m/s
HINTS:
(a) First, find the normal force acting on the student and use that value to calculate the kinetic friction force.
(b) Find the acceleration using the tilted x-component of Newton's second law.
(c) Use kinematics to find her speed at the bottom of the slide.
