Find the horizontal distance the skier travels

Reference no: EM13508141

A skier starts from rest at the top of a frictionless incline of height 20.0 m, as shown in the figure. As the bottom of the incline, the skier encounters a horizontal surface where the coefficient of kinetic friction between skis and snow is 0.216. Find the horizontal distance the skier travels before coming to rest if the incline also has a coefficient of kinetic friction equal to 0.216. (The incline makes an angle ? = 20.0° with the horizontal.)
