Consider the following problem, which I always
include on friction quizzes and tests:
A 75 Kg skier stands on horizontal, snowy surface. Coef of
friction between skis and snow is .02. The skiers friend pushes her
forward with a steady force of 1 N. Calculate the acceleration of
the skier.
About 80% of all students have the skier accelerating
backwards.
