Question

a 55 kg baseball player slides into third base with an initial speed of 4.6 m/s If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the player and the ground is 0.46, what is the player's acceleration?

Answer 1

f=ma so if you find all the forces acting on the baseball player which should only be the normal force which is mg. frictional force=mg*coefficient of friction

Answer 2

mass wont matter because it cancels on both sides

Answer 3

Thank you!
