Hi!

The correct option would be C.

An external conflict is a predicament where the person has to battle with an outside factor, which may be a force of nature, an animal, another person, the weather etc. External conflict may more often than not involve a physical exertion. This is opposed to internal conflicts where an individual has to struggle against a belief, a notion, or an impulse etc - <em>a conflict with oneself</em>. Such as choosing between two pair of dresses would be an internal conflict, and a brawl, or an argument would be an external conflict.

Option C is hence correct as it involves a physical struggle that requires a young boy to guide the boat back to shore, where the conflict is with a force of nature, i.e a water body.

Option A, B and D all deal with the individual in concern's internal conflicts.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

6.19 x $10^{-3}$ m/ $s^{2}$

Explanation:

For this exercise we need to sum the forces on the y-axis and x-axis as follows:

∑ $F_{y}$ = N - mg = m. $a_{y}$ = 0

From the exercise, we deduce there is no motion in y-axis, so:

N = mg

Then for x-axis we have:

∑ $F_{x}$ = H - $f^{s}$ = m. $a_{x}$ = 0

Now, from the exercise we deduce that we are looking for the greatest static friction which means to have the maximun static friction to start moving, so at this point the acceleration is zero, so we can find horizontal force (H), which then will act in the airplane to move it. Therefore we have:

H = $f^{s}$ = $f^{sma_{x} }$ = $u_{s}$ N = $u_{s}$ mg
