Lionel Messi scores a last second goal and, in celebration, runs as fast as he can, drops to his knees and slides along the wet grass of the field. Messi has been clocked (this is true) at a top speed of 9 meters per second in a game. Let's take this as his maximum velocity and the speed he is moving right before he drops down to slide.Take Messi's mass to be 72 kilograms, and take the coefficient of kinetic friction between skin and wet grass to be 0.4How far does Messi slide?
