Refer to the diagram shown below.

When an athlete is in motion, he/she exerts a vertical force (the person's weight, W) on the ground. The ground exerts an equal and opposite force, N, the normal reaction on the athlete, so that W = N.

At the same time, the ground exerts a horizontal force, F, o n the athlete so that he/she does not slip.
The magnitude of the horizontal force is
F = μN = μW
where μ = the dynamic coefficient of friction.

Answer:  
The horizontal force is μW,
where
W = the weight of the athlete and,
μ = the dynamic coefficient of friction.

Could the earth have decreased when the astroid hit
Anarel [89]

If an asteroid were to strike land or a shallow body of water, it would eject an enormous amount of dust, ash, and other material into the atmosphere, blocking the radiation from the Sun. This would cause the global temperature to decrease drastically..

2. Below what depth would a submarine have to submerge so that it would not be swayed by surface waves with a wavelength of 24 m
Travka [436]

<u>Answer:</u> Below 12m of depth, the submarine has to submerge so that it would not be swayed by surface waves

<u>Explanation:</u>

To avoid the surface waves, a submarine has to submerge below the wave base. It is the position below which the motion of the waves is negligible.

This wave base is equal to half of the wavelength. The equation becomes:

Wave base = \frac{\text{Wavelength}}{2}

We are given:

Wavelength = 24 m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Wave base = \frac{24m}{2}=12m

Hence, below 12m of depth, the submarine has to submerge so that it would not be swayed by surface waves

Describe the phenomenon of lightning?​
masha68 [24]

Lightning is a naturally occurring electrostatic discharge during which two electrically charged regions in the atmosphere or ground temporarily equalize themselves, causing the instantaneous release of as much as one gigajoule of energy.
