Problem: A child slides down a slide with a 29° incline, and at the bottom her speed is precisely two-thirds what it would have been if the slide had been frictionless.

Part A: Calculate the coefficient of kinetic friction between the slide and the child.

Please show all work to find the coefficient of kinetic friction between the slide and the child.
