The net force on the car for either case will be zero, since the car is moving at a constant velocity.

<h3>Net force on the car</h3>

The net force on the car is the sum of all the forces acting on the car.

∑F = ma

<h3>When the car is on a level road</h3>

When the car is on a level road, the only two forces acting on the car is the applied force and frictional force of the road.

F - Ff = 0

The net force will be zero, since the car is moving at a constant velocity.

<h3>When the car is on uphill</h3>

The forces acting on the car at the uphill is the applied force, weight of the car acting downwards and the frictional force acting opposite direction.

F - Wsinθ - μFₙcosθ = 0

The net force will be zero, since the car is moving at a constant velocity.

You are operating a pwc in an area where swimmers are in the water. When must you slow your pwc to "slow, no wake speed"?.

Lostsunrise [7]

You should slow your pwc to "slow, no wake speed" when within 100 feet of anchored vessels or non-motorized craft.

This is the process of operating a personal watercraft at the slowest possible speed.

This helps to maintain steerage which prevents different forms of accident or risks when in motion in the water.

Merton’s strain theory would have the most trouble explaining which crime?

Ronch [10]

Strain theory would least apply to assault. Strain theory represents the result of society pressuring individuals to conform or to achieve accepted goals. When these goals, such as not making enough money or not being well known, fraud, robbery, and burglaries will take place to counteract it. Assault, on the other hand, is used as a bridge into crimes such as fraud, robbery, or burglary.
