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.

A man has a mass of 66 kg on the earth. What is his weight.
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
Since force = mass X acceleration, then the force he excerts on the earth (aka his weight) equals his mass times the force of gravity.

Therefore
W = (66 kg) X (9.8 m/ss)
W = 646.8 kgm/ss

kg m/ss are also known as Newtons, so your answer is...

646.8 N

PLEASE HELP WILL GIVE 20 POINTS!!!!

A). very large
B). very small
These are both wishy-washy words ... words that mean different things
to different people, and may even mean different things to the same person
at different times.
Even if everybody agreed on the meaning of these words, we wouldn't
have any idea which one may apply to the rover, because there's nothing
in the picture that gives any size reference !  We don't know from the picture
whether this thing is the size of a school book or a school bus.  Or somewhere
in between.

C). very mathematical
What in the world does this mean ? ?
I don't see a single number or math symbol anywhere in the drawing.
I don't think this is the correct choice.

D). very complex
In the drawing, there are thirteen different labels of things,
and eight of them have such long names that only their initials
are shown.
This is one complicated combination of many different machines.
I think this is the best choice of description.

_______________ describes how much energy is required to raise an object's temperature. convection radiation conduction specific
Gelneren [198K]
Hello,

The answer should be option D "specific heat".

Reason:

Specific heat is what tells the person how my heat and or pressure is required to raised the objects temperature. Its not option A convection because I'm convection is mainly used as like the ozone layer and the suns rays. Its not option B radiation because radiation doesn't tell the person what temperature it needs in order for it to rise its more like its already rises and hot. Its also not option C because conduction is the process of a object heating another object therefore the answer is option D.

If you need anymore help feel free to ask me!

Hope this helps!
