It is the bottom of the ninth inning at a baseball game. The score is tied and there is a runner on second base when the batter gets a hit. The 85-kg base runner rounds third base and is heading for home with a speed of 8.0 m/s. Just before he reaches home plate, he crashes into the opposing team’s catcher, and the two players slide together along the base path toward home plate. The catcher has a mass of 95 kg and the coefficient of friction between the players and the dirt on the base path is 0.70. How far do the catcher and base runner slide?
