You are in a sledding contest where you start at a height of 45.0 m above the bottom of a valley and slide down a hill that makes an angle of 25.0° with respect to the horizontal. When you reach the valley, you immediately climb a second hill that makes an angle of 15.0° with respect to the horizontal. The winner of the contest will be the contestant who travels the greatest distance up the second hill. You must now choose between using your flat-bottomed plastic sled, or your "Blade Runner," which glides on two steel rails. The hill you will ride down is covered with loose snow. However, the hill you will climb on the other side is a popular sledding hill, and is packed hard and is slick. The two sleds perform very differently on the two surfaces, the plastic one performing better on loose snow, and the Blade Runner doing better on hard-packed snow or ice. The performances of each sled can be quantified in terms of their respective coefficients of kinetic friction…arrow_forward
