  A) The friction from the snow will do more negative work on the heavy sled than on the light sled.
  B) The light sled will slide farther on the rough snow than the heavy sled.
  C) The heavy sled will slide farther on the rough snow than the light sled.
  D) Both sleds will slide the same distance on the rough snow before stopping.
  E) The friction from the snow will do the same amount of work on both sleds.
