Answer:

v = 0.33 [m/s]

Explanation:

We must remember that speed is defined as the relationship between the displacement in a given time. In this way, we can propose the following equation.

$v=d/t$

where:

v = velocity [m/s]

d = displacement = 40 [m]

t = 2 [min] = 120 [s]

Now replacing we have:

$v=40/120\\v=0.33[m/s]$

When the student the sled jumps off toward the north , the sled most likely move towards the south.

<h3>What is the Newton third law?</h3>

According to the Newton third law of motion, action and reaction are equal and opposite. This means that the direction of the reaction force must also be opposite to that of the action.

As such, when the student the sled jumps off toward the north , the sled most likely move towards the south.
