Answer:

C. There is a net horizontal force on the skier in the direction the ​boat’s velocity.

Explanation:

This is because, according to Newton's First law of motion, when an object which in this case is the skier tends to be in equilibrium because it travels at a constant velocity, there is no net acceleration of the skier, and this causes the net force on the skier to be equal to zero.

Therefore in this question, option C which states that "There is a net horizontal force on the skier in the direction the ​boat’s velocity" is a false statement.

If a girl is running along a straight road with a uniform velocity 1.5m/s find her acceleration ​
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

Dear user,

Answer to your query is provided below

Acceleration is zero because of no change in velocity.

Explanation:

Remember that velocity is a vector quantity and a vector can change in 3 ways

•Magnitude only

•Direction only

•Both magnitude and direction.

Now the magnitude of velocity (speed) can stay constant while the direction is changing. This is the case in circular motion.

In the question above, it is mentioned that the girl is moving along a straight road. Therefore no change in direction of velocity.

What occurs when waves overlap
IrinaK [193]
If you are talking about ocean waves crashing into each other, they would probably mostly cancel out with just a bit of motion left over. If you are talking about things like frequency and amplitude, overlapping waves would combine and amplify or suppress each other, depending on their direction, position, frequency and amplitude. If the two waves complement each other, they amplify; if they conflict with each other, they are suppressed.
