A skier with a mass of 62 kg is sliding down a snowy slope. Find the coefficient of kinetic friction for the skier if friction is known to be 45.0 N.
Added by Joshua N.
Step 1
Given: Mass of skier (m) = 62 kg, Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.80 m/s^2, Angle (θ) = 25 degrees Using the equation N = w cos(θ), where w = mg: N = (62 kg)(9.80 m/s^2)cos(25 degrees) N = 62 kg * 9.80 m/s^2 * cos(25 degrees) N = 62 kg * 9.80 m/s^2 * 0.9063 N Show more…

A skier with a mass of 80 kg is sliding down a snowy slope that makes an angle of 30 degrees with the horizontal. Find the coefficient of kinetic friction if the friction is known to be 43 N.

A skier with a mass of 63.0 kg starts from rest and skis down an icy (frictionless) slope that has a length of 38.0 m at an angle of 32.0° with respect to the horizontal. At the bottom of the slope, the path levels out and becomes horizontal, the snow becomes less icy, and the skier begins to slow down, coming to rest in a distance of 130 m along the horizontal path. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the skier and the horizontal surface?
