A motorcyclist is coasting with the engine off at a steady speed of 20.0 m/s but enters a sandy stretch where the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.70. Will the cyclist emerge from the sandy stretch without having to start the engine ifthe sand lasts for 15 m? If so, what will be the speed upon emerging?
