need the correct and unique solves
Given,
Ignore the friction between the sled and ice.
Now, Two 22.7 kg ice sleds initially at rest, are
placed a short distance apart, one directly
behind the other. A cat standing on the left sled
which weight is 3.63KG , jumps across to the
right one and immediately comes back to the
first. Both jumps are made horizontally at a
speed of 3.05 m/s relative to the ice.
(i) Find the final speeds of the two sleds.
(ii) Calculate the impulse on the cat as it lands on
the right sled.
(iii) Find the average force on the right sled
applied by the cat while landing. Consider that
the cat takes 12 ms to finish the landing.
