**Problem:**Starting from rest, a 75 kg skier slides down a 17.0° slope. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the skis and snow is 0.120 and it takes 16.9 s to get to the bottom, how long is the ski trail? (Use \( g = 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \)).**Options:**- a) 124 m - b) 186 m - c) 148 m - d) 248 m **Explanation:**This is a physics problem involving motion on an inclined plane, friction, and kinematics. It asks you to calculate the length of the ski trail using given data about the skier, slope angle, friction, and time. The key to solving the problem is to determine the acceleration of the skier and then use kinematic equations to find the distance traveled.
