rider?
A 63-kg ice-skater glides with a speed of 10 m/s toward a 14-kg sled at rest on the ice. The ice-skater reaches the sled and holds on to it. The ice-skater and the sled then continue sliding in the same direction in which the ice-skater was originally skating. What is the speed of the ice-skater and the sled after they collide?
I got -2.33x10^2.
The thing I need help with is:What force is acting on the bike and rider if slowing down took 6.0 seconds?
