A 69-kg base runner begins his slide into second base when he is moving at a speed of 4.6 m/s. The coefficient of friction between his clothes and Earth is 0.70. He slides so that his speed is zero just as he reaches the base. (a) How much mechanical energy is lost due to friction acting on the runner?  J (b) How far does he slide?  m

Differential Equations

Have you ever observed the movement of the satellites and rockets or how the planets go around the sun in their orbits? How will you determine their motion? Definitely they follow some scientific laws and these kinds of problems are framed as differential equations.
