20 Newtons

20N

To determine the magnitude of the force that the sled exerts on the student, we can use Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

In this case, the force exerted by the student on the sled is the action, and the force exerted by the sled on the student is the reaction. Since the forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction, the force exerted by the sled on the student will also have a magnitude of 20. newtons.
