Achild is sliding on a sled at 1.3 m/s to the right. you stop the sled by pushing on it for 0.80 s in a direction opposite to its motion. part a if the mass of the child and sled is 34 kg , what is the magnitude of the average force you need to apply to stop the sled?

find acceleration first

a = vf - vi / t

a = 0  - 1.5 / 0.5s   (vf is zero)

a = -3 (negative sign indicates that acceleration is decreasing)

so F=ma

    F = 35 x -3

   F = -105 N (here negative sign indicates that u have to apply a force opposite to the boy's direction i.e from the left or towards the right)

Explanation:

in order to follow the instructions and complete the statements, i need to use data from table c of your student guide. can you think of a way to let me see your student guide for a while ? i can't answer the question without the data in table c.
