A 75 kg skier was pushed up a slope of 21.0 degrees west with an inititial velocity of 4.0 m/s. After the inital push, it is not pushed further with the up-slope force. The kinetic coefficient of friction between the skis and the snow is 0.14 and the static coefficient is 0.19. a) What is the acceleration (deceleration) of the skier after the push? b) If his initial velocity was 4.0 m/s, how far up the slope will he move before he stops?
The coefficient of static friction between the tires of a car and a horizontal road is 0.2.

At what rate will the truck accelerate?(b) Person A stands at the back of the truck and Person B stands at the front, and they push in opposite directions. What is the net force on the truck? At what rate will the truck accelerate? In what direction?For both (a) and (b), draw a picture indicating the forces applied by A and B as well as the motion of the truck.
