# A snowboarder starts from rest and slides down a \(32^\circ\) incline that’s \(75 \, \text{m}\) long. If the coefficient of friction is \(0.12\), what is the snowboarder’s speed at the base of the incline?

A snowboarder starts from rest and slides down a \(32^\circ\) incline that’s \(75 \, \text{m}\) long.

**Part a)** If the coefficient of friction is \(0.12\), what is the snowboarder’s speed at the base of the incline? *(3 points)*

**Part b)** At the foot of the incline the snow levels off and has the same coefficient of friction. Using only energy find how far the snowboarder travels along the level surface. *(4 points)*
