So, naturally, Morty decides to contemplate the physics of the situation. He knows that his mass is 146kg, and that the slope upon which he sunbathes is 31.0°. a) Calculate the coefficient of friction between Morty and his towel. b) Now, Morty applies lavish amounts of suntan lotion. WHOOAA! The lotion makes a good lubricant, reducing the coefficient of friction to 0.400, and Morty slides down the slope! What is his acceleration?
