Calculate the deceleration of a snowboarder going up a slope assuming the coefficient of friction for waxed wood on wet snow. The result of Exercise 5.9 may be useful, but be careful to consider the fact that the snowboarder is going uphill. Explicitly show how you follow the steps in Problem-Solving Strategies.
