An ultimate Frisbee player (body mass of 54 kg) sprints at 7.1 m/s and makes a quick turn to her right. In the stance phase during this turn, her vertical acceleration is 5.0 m/s2 and her horizontal deceleration is -2.0 m/s2. If the static coefficient of friction between her foot and the turf is 0.8, how small of a radius (m) can she have on her turn not to slip? Assume that air resistance is negligible.

Question
An ultimate Frisbee player (body mass of 54 kg) sprints at 7.1 m/s and makes a quick
turn to her right. In the stance phase during this turn, her vertical acceleration is 5.0
m/s2 and her horizontal deceleration is -2.0 m/s2. If the static coefficient of friction
between her foot and the turf is 0.8, how small of a radius (m) can she have on her
turn not to slip? Assume that air resistance is negligible.
