The 1994 Winter Olympics included the aerials competition in skiing. In this event skiers speed down a ramp that slopes sharply
upward at the end. The sharp upward slope launches them into the air, where they perform acrobatic maneuvers. In the women's competition, the end of a typical launch ramp is directed 61° above the horizontal. With this launch angle, a skier attains a height of 16 m above the end of the ramp. What is the skier's launch speed?

The acceleration of the sled will be 1.30 m/s². Force is defined as the product of mass and acceleration.
<h3>What is force?</h3>Force is defined as the push or pulls applied to the body. Sometimes it is used to change the shape, size, and direction of the body.
Given data;
m(mass of sled)=8 kg
Θ is the inclination of force= 50°
Force of friction,f=2.4 N.
The applied force at the given angle is resolved into the two-component as;
The net vertical force is zero;
From Newton's second law the net force as;
Hence, the acceleration of the sled will be 1.30 m/s².
