The dogs of four-time iditarod trail sled dog race champion jeff king pull two 100-kg sleds that are connected by a rope. the sleds move on an icy surface. the dogs exert a 240-n force on the rope attached to the front sled. the front rope pulls horizontally. find the acceleration of the sleds.

Acceleration,

Explanation:

Given that,

The dogs of four-time Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race champion Jeff King pull two 100-kg sleds that are connected by a rope, m = 100 kg

Force exerted by the doges on the rope attached to the front sled, F = 240 N

To find,

The acceleration of the sleds.

Solution,

Let a is the acceleration of the sleds. The product of mass and acceleration is called force. Its expression is given by :

F = ma

(m = 2m)

So, the acceleration of the sleds is .
