Joe slides along an icy sidewalk -- hard version
Joe slides along a perfectly frictionless icy
sidewalk at v = 5 m/s.
However, he hits a patch where some sand adds
friction.
The patch is L = 3 meters wide.
Because the amount of sand changes across the path,
the coefficient of kinetic friction changes:
it follows the equation
-  What is the friction force on Joe when he
        is 1 meter into the patch?
 -  What is the friction force on Joe when he
        is 2 meters into the patch?
 -  Draw a graph showing "Net Force on Joe" 
        as a function of "distance along patch".
 -  What is the work done by friction as Joe moves
        across the patch?
 -  What is Joe's final speed?
