Answer: Negative

Explanation:

An oxygen atom has the chemical symbol O. Its atomic number is 8, with an electronic configuration of 1s2, 2s2 2p4.

Now, due to the incompletely filled p-orbital, oxygen picks up two additional, free-floating electrons (2e-) to complete its outermost shell. And since each electrons received carries a negative charge, oxygen atom becomes a negatively charged divalent ion, O2-

See the equation below

O + 2e- ---> O2-

<h3>Answer:  130 newtons</h3>

===============================================================

Explanation:

We'll need the acceleration first.

  • The initial speed (let's call that Vi) is 8.0 m/s
  • The final speed (Vf) is 0 m/s since Sam comes to a complete stop at the end.
  • This happens over a duration of t = 4.0 seconds

The acceleration is equal to the change in speed over change in time

a = acceleration

a = (change in speed)/(change in time)

a = (Vf - Vi)/(4 seconds)

a = (0 - 8.0)/4

a = -8/4

a = -2

The acceleration is -2 m/s^2, meaning that Sam slows down by 2 m/s every second. Negative accelerations are often associated with slowing down. The term "deceleration" can be used here.

Here's a further break down of Sam's speeds at the four points of interest

  • At 0 seconds, he's going 8 m/s
  • At the 1 second mark, he's slowing down to 8-2 = 6 m/s
  • At the 2 second mark, he's now at 6-2 = 4 m/s
  • At the 3 second mark, he's at 4-2 = 2 m/s
  • Finally, at the 4 second mark, he's at 2-2 = 0 m/s

Next, we'll apply Newton's Second Law of motion

F = m*a

where,

  • F = force applied
  • m = mass
  • a = acceleration

We just found the acceleration, and the mass is fairly easy as all we need to do is add Sam's mass with the sled's mass to get 60+5.0 = 65 kg

So the force applied must be:

F = m*a

F = 65*(-2)

F = -130 newtons

This force is negative to indicate it's pushing against the sled's momentum to slow Sam down.

The magnitude of this force is |F| = |-130| = 130 newtons
