Josh starts his sled at the top of a 3.0-m-high hill that has a constant slope of 25°. After reaching the bottom, he slides across a horizontal patch of snow. Ignore friction on the hill, but assume that the coefficient of kinetic friction between his sled and the horizontal patch of snow is 0.050. How far from the base of the hill does he end up?
