The best way to get an old-fashioned wooden sled (which can be quite heavy) going on the snow is to get a good running start and then jump on the sled. Bailey is doing just that, running at 4.0 m/s and launching her 26 kg body onto the 5.9 kg sled. How fast is the sled moving just after she lands on it?

Figure P7.22arrow_forwardFigure P9.59a shows an overhead view of the configuration of two pucks of mass In on frictionless ice. The pucks are tied together with a string of length 1' and negligible mass. At time t = 0, a constant force of magnitude F begins to pull to the right on the center point of the string. At time t, the moving pucks strike each other and stick together. At this time, the force has moved through a distance 4 and the pucks have attained a speed v (Fig. P9.59b).
