Question

Carlos and Shannon are sledding down a snow-covered slope that is angled at 12.0° below the horizontal. When sliding on snow, Carlos’s sled has a coefficient of friction μ_k = 0.100; Shannon has a “supersled” with μ_k = 0.0100. Carlos takes off down the slope starting from rest. When Carlos is 2.60 m from the starting point, Shannon starts down the slope from rest.

How far have they traveled when Shannon catches up to Carlos?
