If a 60 kg person on a 15 kg sled is pushed with a force of 300 N, what will be person’s acceleration?

Sure, let's solve this step by step:

Step 1: First, we need to find the total mass that is being accelerated. This is the mass of the person plus the mass of the sled, which is 60 kg + 15 kg = 75 kg.

Step 2: Next, we use Newton's second law of motion, which states that the acceleration of an object is equal to the net force acting on it divided by its mass. The net force in this case is the force with which the person is being pushed, which is 300 N.

Step 3: So, we divide the force by the total mass to find the acceleration: 300 N / 75 kg = 4 m/s².

So, the person's acceleration will be 4 m/s².
