A 104.328-kg baserunner slides into home base. He starts his slide moving at 8.451 m/s and 6.596 m from home base; when he crosses home plate he is moving at 2.322 m/s. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the baserunner and the ground?

The coefficient of kinetic friction between the baserunner and the ground is 0.51.

Coefficient of kinetic friction

The coefficient of kinetic friction between the base runner and the ground is calculated as follows;

μ = a/g

where;

  • a is acceleration
  • g is gravity

v² = u² + 2as

a = (v² - u²)/(2s)

a = (8.451² - 2.322²)/(2 x 6.596)

a = 5 m/s²

μ = 5/9.8

μ = 0.51

Thus, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the baserunner and the ground is 0.51.
