An 80 kilogram skier slides on waxed skis along a horizontal surface of snow at a constant velocity while pushing with his poles

. What is the horizontal component of the force pushing him forward?

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.

The human body is a system of systems that rely on each other to sustain a life. Explain how.
Misha Larkins [42]
The human body is connected in every way. All the organs are connected and help each other be alive. For example, the veins are connected to the heart, which help it by pumping blood and oxygen. If they weren’t there, the heart wouldn’t be able to sustain a life.
I really hope this gave you and ideas and helped you in some way:)

1.) True or False.
eimsori [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to Newton's third law of motion, forces always act in equal but opposite pairs. Another way of saying this is for every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction. This means that when you push on a wall, the wall pushes back on you with a force equal in strength to the force you exerted. 1.True 2.falues 3.true 4. not really sure on this one
