In summary, a skier moving at 23.0 m/s down a 24.0 degree slope encounters a region of wet snow with a coefficient of friction of 0.680. The problem involves using a free body diagram and Newton's second law to find the distance the skier goes before stopping. Knowing the angle of the slope and the acceleration due to gravity, the answer can be easily calculated.

please help rite away , might be losing my mind

A skier moves at 23.0 m/s down a 24.0 degree slope and encounters a region of wet snow, where the coefficient of friction = 0.680. How far down the slope does she go before stopping?

thats how the problem is exactly, i drew a free body diagram and gots no clue where to go from there please help me ne body SOMEBODY!

Is it 24.0deg with respect to vertical or horizontal?...and have you also worked with gravity?

its horizontal... watya mean

The next step after the FBD is always to write out Newton's second law for both the x and y directions, then solve the system of equations. Can you see why the answer becomes easy to get after you get the acceleration?
