In celebration of a goal, a soccer player, who weighs 71.0 kg, slides on the ground. Before coming to a halt, the player travels at a speed of 3.90 m/s at the commencement of the slide's descent. The player and the ground have a coefficient of friction of 0.700. In order to determine how much energy the player has lost or gained throughout the slide, we must first calculate her change in mechanical energy (in J). When the player slides, how far (in meters) does it travel?
