Haha much the same, finished up my math courses then got into physics and other sciences but can definietely tell doing it that way will help a ton in the long run.

Ya definietely not a bad idea. I tend to not use them as I work through it but I'll be using them for now on in my work process.

Ah dangit thank you guys I'm over thinking this one! Been at it for a while and it makes sense now. Thanks so much for your help!

This is the boys speed in reference to the sled so wouldent the correct unit be 1kg m/s?

Oh yes i totally spaced the boy is going the opposite direction! Also i didnt mean to add the m/s to the momentum. I apologize for the lack of units it is duly noted for future equations. 50 kg m/s=(50kg)v Velocity of the boy = 1kg m/s

Homework Statement A kid pushes a sled on ice that is smooth, level and essentially frictionless. The kid is 50kg, the sled is 10kg, he pushes the sled hard enough to give it a veloctity of 5m/s. How fast does he end up moving backwards on the ice when letting go of the sled? Homework...
