Chapter 2, Problem 2.24P
A skier weighing 90 kg starts from rest down a hill inclined at 17°. He skis 100 m down the hill and then coasts for 70 m along level snow until he stops. Find the coefficient of kinetic friction between the skis and the snow. What velocity does the skier have at the bottom of the hill?

A penguin slides at a constant velocity of 1.4 m/s down an icy incline. The incline slopes above the horizontal at an angle of 6.9?degrees. At the
bottom of the incline, the penguin slides onto a horizontal patch of ice. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the penguin and the ice is the same for the incline as for the horizontal slope. How much time is required for the penguin to
slide to a halt after entering the horizontal patch of ice?
The brakes on a big truck fail and it is forced to use a runaway truck lane. The lane is perfectly horizontal, and full of deep gravel, creating a coefficient of kinetic friction between the truck and the gravel of 0.80. The truck enters the lane at moving 35 m/s (about 80 mph). How far does the truck travel before it stops?
A skier slides down a hill in a straight line. The hill is 60m high and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the snow and the skis is 0.1. The hill is at an angle of 10 degrees with the horizontal. The mass of the skier is 70 kg. If the skier starts her run from rest and air friction can be ignored, how fast is she moving at the bottom of the hill? Please answer in units of m/s.
