Answer:
The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled and the snow is 0.0134
Explanation:
Given that:
M = mass of person = 52 kg
m = mass of sled = 15.2 kg
U = initial velocity of person = 3.63 m/s
u = initial velocity of sled = 0 m/s
After collision, the person and the sled would move with the same velocity V.
a) According to law of momentum conservation:
Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision
MU + mu = (M + m)V

Substituting values:

The velocity of the sled and person as they move away is 2.81 m/s
b) acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
d = 30 m
Using the formula:

The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled and the snow is 0.0134
Since, the options are not given the question is incomplete the complete question is as follows.:
Which of the following is a major way in which oceans contribute to weather systems?
provide a diverse habitat for many organisms
experience changes in amounts of dissolved salts
store and transport the Sun's heat energy
reach depths that can be as much as 12000 meters
Answer: Store and transport the Sun's heat energy.
Explanation:
Oceanic currents are just like a conveyor belt. It helps in transportation of the warm water and the precipitation from the equator to the poles and the cold water in the poles towards the tropics. This way the oceans counteract the uneven distribution of the radiation of sun that reaches upto the surface earth. This will regulate the global climate.
Is the answer you are looking for Gravity? Gravity is what pulls us down to earth.
