A 60.0 kg skier with an initial speed of 14.0 m/s coasts up a 2.50 m high rise as shown in Figure 6.23. Find his final speed at the top, given that the coefficient of friction between her skis and the snow is 0.0800. (Hint: Find the distance traveled up the incline assuming a straight-line path as shown in the figure.)
