Homework Statement
A girl pulls her 4.00kg sled connected to a weightless rope. She pulls the rope on the sled and it goes faster and faster on a frictionless ice surface. The sled has an acceleration of
2.50m/s^2. What is the tension on the rope? What is the net force?
Homework Equations
F = ma
The Attempt at a Solution
F(net) = 4.00kg*2.50m/s^2 = 10.0N
T = 4.00kg*2.50m/s^2 = 10.0N
If my answers are correct, where is the reaction force to F(net) for Newton's 3rd law? I understand that the reaction force to the tension is the what the rope is attached to, but then what is the reaction force to F(net)?
