Question

A 40 kg girl and an 8.4 kg sled are on the frictionless ice of a frozen lake, 15 m apart but connected by a rope of negligible mass. The girl exerts a horizontal 5.2 N force on the rope. a) What is the magnitude of the sled's acceleration? b) What is the magnitude of the girl's acceleration? c) How far from the girl's initial position do they meet?
