Question
As a snowboarder descends a mountain slope, gravity, the normal force, and friction combine to exert a net force of 320 N in
the downhill direction. The net force does 4700 J of work on her
during one segment of her descent. If her path cuts across the face
of the mountain at a 65° angle from the direction of the net force,
over what distance does she travel?
