2. A skier at rest begins to go down a hill inclined at 40° above the ground. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the skier and the snow is 0.15. The hill is 65 m high. Once the skier reaches the bottom of the hill, how far from the base of the hill will she travel if she doesn't try to stop?
