A Skier is pulled up a slope at a constant velocity by a tow bar. The slope is inclined at 25°. The force applied to the skier b

y the tow bar is parallel to the slope. The skier's mass is 55.0 kg and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the skies and snow is 0.12. Find the magnitude of the force that the tow bars exert on the skier.

To solve your problem, we can apply Newton's second law of motion.
Fⁿ = ma 

<span>Fnet = net force acting on the skier </span>
<span>m = mass of the skier = 53 kg </span>
<span>a = acceleration up the slope </span>

<span>Since velocity is constant then acceleration is zero, hence the above equation becomes </span>

<span>Fnet = 0 </span>

<span>Fnet = F - Wx - f </span>

<span>where </span>

<span>F = force exerted by the tow bar </span>
<span>Wx = component of skier's weight parallel to the incline = 53(9.8)(sin 20) </span>
<span>f = frictional force = 0.160(53)(9.8)(cos 20) </span>

<span>Substituting appropriate values, </span>

<span>F - 53(9.8)(sin 20) - 0.160(53)(9.8)(cos 20) = 0 </span>

<span>and solving for F, </span>

<span>F = 99.55 N </span>

<span>Hope this helps and have a nice day!</span>

What happens to pH levels as ammonia is converted to nitrate ​
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

As the pH rises, the concentration (toxicity) of the ammonia also increases. When the pH level increases above 9, most of the ammonium in the water is converted into toxic ammonia (NH3), which can kill fish. ... The Nitrobacter bacterium feeds on the nitrites in the water and converts them into nitrate (NO3).

Explanation:

test the ph balance.

It should be noted that egocentrism is common among children when they are in the preoperational stage of the cognitive development.

An example of egocentrism occurs when a child gives his father in order to make him feel better.

Eukaryotic cells enable higher-order organisms to maintain complex systems and specialize in particular functions. Prokaryotic c
Natali [406]

Answer:

B. Eukaryotic cells have compartmentalization that allows for organisms to increase cellular efficiency and support incompatible processes. Prokaryotic cells contain simple structures that perform basic functions.

Explanation:

Eukaryotic cells have nuclei that enable them to direct many, more complex processes that a prokaryotic cell could not. Since there is no central directory in a prokaryotic cell the processes in a Prokaryotic cell are often primal and simplistic in nature.

The complexity of a eukaryotic cell thus allows it to compartmentalize or have special parts that specialize in a specific function that it does really well.

I hope this helps y'all :)
