Answer:

69.74 N

Explanation:

We are given that

Weight of sled=49 N

Coefficient of kinetic friction,\mu_k=0.11

Weight of person=585 N

Total weight==mg=49+585=634 N

We know that

Force needed to pull the sled across the snow at constant speed,F=Kinetic friction

F=\mu_k N

Where N= Normal=mg

F=0.11\times 634=69.74 N

Hence, the force is needed  to pull the sled across the snow at constant speed=69.74 N

Luden [163]
A) Tolerance

Tolerance is developed after using a drug repeatedly, so the body adapts to it. Because of that, people who develop a tolerance would then need to use more of that drug to get the same effect.

As a solid element melts, the atoms become __________ and they have __________ attraction for one another. more separated, more
galina1969 [7]
The complete statement is 

As a solid element melts, the atoms become more separated and they have less attraction for one another. 

Let me explain to you how this happens. In solid phase. Its molecules are arranged in a very compact manner that is why it takes a definite shape and volume. When it is heated, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases. This is characterized by more frequent collisions. The rise in temperature causes the molecules to move rapidly by vibrating. When it reaches an amount of energy that causes the solid to change phase, this is called the latent energy. The molecules break their form and move farther away from each other until it resembles that of a liquid melting. At this point, the molecules would have lesser attraction because of the distance between them.
