A skater with an initial speed of7.23m/s stops propelling himself and begins to coast across the ice, eventually coming to rest. Air resistance is negligible. (a) The coefficient of kinetic friction between the ice and the skate blades is0.105. Find the deceleration caused by kinetic friction.

Question
A skater with an initial speed of7.23m/s stops propelling himself and begins to coast across the ice, eventually coming to rest. Air resistance is negligible.

(a) The coefficient of kinetic friction between the ice and the skate blades is0.105. Find the deceleration caused by kinetic friction.

(b) How far will the skater travel before coming to rest?
