Here we can use momentum conservation as there is no external force on sled and child while he jump on sled

by momentum conservation equation

m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v{2f}

20*4 + 5*0 = 20*v + 5 *v

since sled and child both moves with same speed so here they both will have same final speed "v"

by solving above equation we will have

25 v = 80

v = 3.2 m/s

So they will move together with speed 3.2 m/s

What is similar about analogical and symbolic representations?
ICE Princess25 [194]
Symbolic representations are mental pictures that have no direct relationship to the actual object you are thinking about. Instead, these mental pictures are connected by themes that are meaningful to you. Anytime you think of words and descriptions for one main concept, you're thinking symbolically. Analogical representations are mental pictures that have a direct relationship to the actual object you are thinking about. Do cows have their ears on the top or side of their heads? Rather than thinking symbolically about a cow and his ears (tiny, smelly, leather), analogical representations of the cow's ears involve thinking of an actual cow in your head.
