a 70kg base runner begins his slide into second base when he is moving at a speed of 4.00m/s. the coefficient of friction between his clothe and earth is 0.7. he slides so that his speed is 0 just as he reaches the base.
a)how much mechanical enrgy is lost due to the friction acting on the runner?
b) how far does he slides?
