A boy slides down a hill on a sled (total mass of 42 kg) and coasts onto a flat plain with a speed of 6.1 m/s. Friction between the sled and the snow exerts an average force of magnitude 39 N on the sled. How far (in m) does the sled travel before stopping? (Note: First, find the acceleration of the boy using Unit Two material, then use this to compute the distance using Unit One material.)

Does changing the mass of the object affect the acceleration? I was to conduct an experiment where the motion of an object sliding on an inclined air track under the influence of gravity is observed. In order to demonstrate the effects of force while minimizing friction, the air track has lines of holes drilled along the top faces. My thought process: because f=ma I thought yes, but I have also gathered data that shows me that increasing mass does not necessarily mean increasing/decreasing a.
