Jason takes off across level water on his jet-powered skis. The combined mass of Jason and his skis is 75 kg (the mass of the fuel is negligible). Water exerts a force of 200 N on the skis

The coefficient of kinetic friction between skis and water is 0.10. Unfortunately, the skis run out of fuel after only 90 s. What is Jason's top speed? A) 150 m/s
B) 240 m/s
C) 24 m/s
D) 90 m/s
