Question
Bran is pushing Amira in a sled. The combined mass of the sled and Amira is 40.0 kg. There is a coefficient of kinetic friction between the led and the snow of 0.128. Bran applies a 160 N pushing force at 30.0° below the horizontal. What is Amira's acceleration? (Give your answer in m/s2.)
