AP Physics 1 question: Using the following information, prove why it is NOT realistic for the sled to make such a jump. In this scene, Anna and Kristoff are fleeing from a pack of wolves while riding a sled. With no other escape route, they leap off a ledge and reach the cliff's other side. But was this feat possible? The sled did not jump at an angle and the other side of the cliff is at equal height as the cliff that the sled they were on jumped off on. There was a 55 feet gap. The cliffs were 150 feet tall. Mass of Anna: 45 kg, Mass of Kristoff: 69 kg, Mass of Sven (the reindeer pulling the sled): 159 kg, Sled dimensions: Length: 10 feet, Width: 4 feet, Height: 3 feet, Weight: 600 lbs (272.16)
