A cyclist is moving down a steep hill

Reference no: EM13541358

A cyclist is moving down a steep hill that has a grade of 20%. The rider is traveling at 3.5 m/s. The combined weight of the rider and cycle is 800N and the dynamic coefficient of friction between the tires and the road is 0.7. If the rider suddenly applies the brakes and the wheels stop rotating and begin sliding relative to the road, then how far does the cycle travel until it stops?
