QUESTION 11 A sled is being pulled by a force with a magnitude of "F" directed along the positive x-axis. If the sled has a mass of 30 kg, and if the coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled and the snow on the (flat) ground is 0.5, then what must the magnitude of the pulling force, "F", be in order to accelerate the sled at 5 m/s2 in the x-direction? Assume that the sled does not accelerate in the y-direction.
