Connection to Big Idea about energy: Gravity creates gravitational potential energy. Gravitational energy relies on the masses of two bodies and their distance.
Connection to Big Idea about the universe: Gravitational force is exerted by all objects with mass throughout the Universe. It is what keeps the Earth and the planets in orbit around the Sun, and our Solar System in orbit around the centre of the Milky Way. Gravity is one of the forces involved in the birth of stars, their evolution and finally their death.
Connection to Big Idea about Earth: The gravitational force is responsible for many physical properties of Earth and consequently it affects the existence and the properties of living creatures on it. For instance, the existence, the chemical composition and the structure of Earth’s atmosphere was determined by Earth’s gravitational force.
Answer:
Explanation:
Given
mass of sled =26 kg
coefficient of static friction 
coefficient of kinetic friction 
In order to move sled from rest we need to provide a force greater than static friction which is given by

After Moving Sled kinetic friction comes in to play which is less than static friction

therefore minimum force to keep moving sledge at constant velocity is 18.34 N
I need more details like r u reading from something
Answer:
The height is 3.1m
Explanation:
Here we have a conservation of energy problem, we have a conversion form eslastic potencial energy to gravitational potencial energy, so:

then we have only gravitational potencial energy when the ball is at its maximun height.

because all the energy was transformed Eg=Ee

searching the web, the mass of a ping pong ball is 2.7 gr in average. so:
