QUESTION:

Problem 3P

A baseball player slides into third base with an initial speed of 4.0 m/s. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the player and the ground is 0.46, how far does the player slide before coming to rest?

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 4:

A baseball player slides with an initial speed into the third base. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the player and the ground is given. We are going to find the distance traveled by the player when he stops.

The initial speed vox = 4.0 m/s

The coefficient of kinetic friction ?k = 0.46

The final speed vx = 0

The acceleration due to gravity g = 9.81 m/s2
