Please help with these two questions. Thank you. Please note that the answer "1,970" for one of the questions is correct, however, the answer "1,980" for the other question is incorrect, so that is mainly the question that I need help with.

With a mass of 100 kg and a starting height of 20 m, the sled barely destroys 1 snowman. What is momentum needed to destroy 1 snowman?

Give your answer in units of [Kg m/s]

[Answer box with the value] 1,970

### Question
If the sled with the settings in the previous question (100 kg, 20 m) fully stops right after it destroys a snowman, what is the impulse provided to the sled by the snowman?

**Hint**: Remember impulse is \( \Delta \vec{p} \), and notice that we are defining positive momentum towards the right.

Give your answer in units of [Kg m/s]

### Answer
1,980

---

### Explanation
The problem involves calculating the impulse provided to a sled by a snowman upon collision, using the concept of momentum change. The positive direction for momentum is defined towards the right. The answer provided is 1,980 Kg m/s.
