Expert Solution
Step 1

Given data:

Mass of the baseball is,

mb = 0.2 kg

Mass of the cat is,

mc =6 kg

Mass of the sled is,

ms = 10 kg

Acceleration of the baseball is,

ab = 40 m/s   

Acceleration of the cat is,

ac = 1.5 m/s2

The net force on the sled is,

Fs = 5 N

Formula used:

According to Newton's second law of motion, force is,

F = ma

Where,

F- Force acting on an object

a- Acceleration of an object

m- Mass of an object
