Question: A sled is being pulled across a horizontal patch of snow. Friction is negligible. The pulling force points in the same direction as the sleds

A sled is being pulled across a horizontal patch of snow. Friction is negligible. The pulling force points in the same direction as the sled’s displacement, which is along the + x-axis. As a result, the kinetic energy of the sled increases by 38%. By what percentage would the sled’s kinetic energy have increased if this force had pointed 62° above the + x-axis?
