Calculate the deceleration of a snowboarder going up a 2.44° slope, assuming the coefficient of friction for Waxwood on wet snow. Consider the fact that the snowboarder is going uphill. The coefficient of kinetic friction for Waxwood on snow is 0.100. You should report your answer as a positive number (deceleration of 5.0 m/s² is the same as an "acceleration" of -5.0 m/s²).

Calculate the magnitude of the deceleration (in m/s^2) of a snow boarder going up a 2.0° slope assuming the coefficient of friction for waxed wood on wet snow. Table 5.1 Coefficients of Static and Kinetic Friction System | Static friction μs | Kinetic friction μk Rubber on dry concrete | 1.0 | 0.7 Rubber on wet concrete | 0.7 | 0.5 Wood on wood | 0.5 | 0.3 Waxed wood on wet snow | 0.14 | 0.1 Metal on wood | 0.5 | 0.3 Steel on steel (dry) | 0.6 | 0.3 Steel on steel (oiled) | 0.05 | 0.03 Teflon on steel | 0.04 | 0.04 Bone lubricated by synovial fluid | 0.016 | 0.015 Shoes on wood | 0.9 | 0.7 Shoes on ice | 0.1 | 0.05 Ice on ice | 0.1 | 0.03 Steel on ice | 0.04 | 0.02

Calculate the deceleration of a snow boarder going up a $5.00^{\circ}$ slope, assuming the coefficient of friction for waxed wood on wet snow. The result of the preceding problem may be useful, but be careful to consider the fact that the snow boarder is going uphill.
