Because it demonstrates the relationship between a body and the forces acting upon it, and its motion in response to those forces. [Hope that helps]
Answer:

Explanation:
For this case we can use the second law of Newton given by:

The friction force on this case is defined as :

Where N represent the normal force,
the kinetic friction coeffient and a the acceleration.
For this case we can assume that the only force is the friction force and we have:

Replacing the friction force we got:

We can cancel the mass and we have:

And now we can use the following kinematic formula in order to find the distance travelled:

Assuming the final velocity is 0 we can find the distance like this:

Answer:
x component 60.85 m
y component 101.031 m
Explanation:
We have given distance r = 118 km
Angle which makes from ground = 58.9°
(a) X component of distance is given by 
(b) Y component of distance is given by 
These are the x and y component of position vector
Newwton's law of inertia states that an object will not be able to move unless force is applied to it
