a chlid jumps from a moving sled with a speed of 2.2 m/s and in the direction opposite the sleds motion. the sled continues to move foward but wit a new speed of 5.5 m/s. if the child has a mass of 38 kg and the sled has a mass of 68kg what is the initial velocity of the sled?

p=mv , m1*v1 = m2*v2 , 2.2*38 = 68*v2 -> v2=1.23 , vf=vi+v2 -> vi=vf-v2 -> vi=5.5-1.23=4.27
