Your Death Sled from Perdition has landed safely on a level horizontal surface for which the coefficient of kinetic friction is Hk = 0.10. It travels 11.5 m over this surface at which point it encounters a smooth, icy incline with angle of incline 0 = 35.0°. If the sled has a velocity of vị = 47.0 m/s at the beginning of the horizontal surface and your combined mass is 145 kg, (a) What is your velocity when the sled encounters the incline? (b) How high up the incline will you and the sled travel?
