Part A
Find the coefficient of kinetic friction between the child and the slide if the slide is inclined at an angle of 31.0°
below the horizontal.
An ice skater is traveling in a straight, horizontal line on the ice with a velocity of v = 7.5 m/s in the positive x-direction. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the skates and the ice is μk = 0.23.
v=7.5 m/s
uk= 0.23
Using the expression for normal force,write an expression for the skaters acceleration in the x-direction, a
