Answer

$v_{0x} = 10~m/s$

Work Step by Step

On the graph, we can see that $\Delta x_{bg} = 0$ when $v_s = 10~m/s$ This means that the ball lands at the same location where it was launched. Thus the sum of the sled's velocity and $v_{0x}$ is zero. Since the sled's velocity is $-10~m/s$, the value of $v_{0x} = 10~m/s$
