Friction and a good grip.
Not at all. The force of gravity must be greater than the friction force, but if the sled is on any kind of slope, then it doesn't matter what the normal force is.

Friction
The acceleration is caused by the force of gravity on the sled combined with the force you exert on the sled by pushing it.

The force of friction is proportional to the force which surfaces press against each other. Since two people will cause the sled to push harder on the snow then one person, the friction will be greater for two people on the sled.

a old fashon sled
Hey nice try! Mr. McGuire
When a tractor is pulling a sled there is the mass and gravity of both the tractor and sled slowing it down. There is also tension in the rope pulling the sled. whenever physics is involved to solve a force there is usually a frictional force acting on the objects. The formula to use is F=ma. The total mass is the mass of the objects put together and the total force is the force that the tractor is pulling at minus mg (mass x gravity) and minus the frictional force. The tension (T) is calculated using the formula T=W+ma (W=mgh), using only the mass of the sled.
The acceleration of the sled is .18m/s2
Answer this question… How fast will a sled be moving when it reaches the bottom of a hill?
