Question 2

Kieran takes off from rest down a 50 m high, 10 slope on his jet-powered skis. The skis have a thrust of 280 N parallel to the surface of the slope. The combined mass of skis and Kieran is 50 kg (the fuel mass is negligible).

Kieran's speed at the bottom is 40 m/s. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction of his skis on snow?
A) 0.23 B) 0.47 C) 0.58 D) 0.29
