Bobsled
A bobsled run leads down a hill as sketched in the figure above.
Between points A and D, friction is negligible.
Between points D and E at the end of the run, the
coefficient of kinetic friction is µk = 0.4.
The mass of the bobsled with drivers is 210 kg
and it starts from rest at point A.
Find the distance x beyond
point D at which the bobsled will come to a halt.
x = m
