A speed skier is travelling horizontally at a constant speed of 5.50 m/s when she approaches a snow-covered hill that has a slope of 24.0° above the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the skis and the hill is 0.110 and the combined mass of her and her skis is 80.0 kg. If she decided to glide up the hill, how far would she make it before she comes to a complete stop?
