From Newton's First law, if velocity is constant than the net force on the body is zero; or net force in horizontal direction is zero and net force in vertical direction is also zero.

If we assume that the there is negligible friction between waxed skies and snow, than there will be no frictional force on skies in horizontal direction and as net force in horizontal direction is zero, hence the horizontal component of the force pushing him forward is also zero.

Usually, when the temperture is increased l, what will happen to the ratevof dissolving?
pochemuha
<span>When temperature is increased, the rate of dissolving increases. The kinetic energy of the molecules of the solute and solvent molecules is high thereby increasing their contact. An example is mixing powdered sugar to the water. When you add water to the sugar, the dissolving process is slow. However, when you increase the temperature of the water by boiling it, the sugar dissolves immediately. </span>

El dormitorio de Pablo es rectangular, y sus lados miden 3 y 4 metros. Ha decidido dividirlo en dos partes triangulares con una
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

 c = 5 m

Explanation:

this exercise you want to divide the rectangular room into two triangular rooms

                 

the area of ​​triangles is

           A = ½ base height

           A = ½ 4 3

          A = 6 m²

the length of the curtain can be found using the Pythagorean theorem

           c² = b² + a²

           c = √ (4² + 3²)

           c = 5 m

this is the length of the curtain
