A penguin slides at a constant velocity of 3.90 m/s down an icy incline. The incline slopes above the horizontal at an angle of 7.26°. 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 patch. How much time is required for the penguin to slide to a halt after entering the horizontal patch of ice?
