A 65.0 kg person, running horizontally with a velocity of +3.68 m/s, jumps onto a 12.2 kg sled that is initially at rest.
(a) Ignoring the effects of friction during the collision, find the velocity of the sled and person as they move away.
I got this right with 3.1 m/s
(b) The sled and person coast 30.0 m on level snow before coming to rest. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled and the snow?
I've gotten different answes... .016, .16, .02, .4.... all those are incorrect.
What am I doing wrong in this problem? I cannot figure it out and it's frustrating me.
