A 540 kg ice skater is gliding along the ice heading due


A 54.0 kg ice skater is gliding along the ice, heading due north at 4.10 m/s . The ice has a small coefficient of static friction, to prevent the skater from slipping sideways, but Uk = 0. Suddenly, a wind from the northeast exerts a force of 3.70 N on the skater.

a.) Use work and energy to find the skater's speed after gliding 100 m in this wind.

b.) What is the minimum value of Ug that allows her to continue moving straight north?
