The magnitude of the force of friction is 40 N
Explanation:
To solve the problem, we just have to analyze the forces acting on the student and the scooter along the horizontal direction. We have:
- The constant pushing force forward, of magnitude F = 40 N
- The frictional force, acting backward, 
Since the two forces are in opposite direction, the equation of motion is
where
m is the mass of the student+scooter
a is the acceleration
However, here the scooter is moving at constant speed: this means that its acceleration is zero, so
a = 0
And therefore,
which means that the magnitude of the force of friction is also equal to 40 N.

The answer to that will be the Troposphere.
If the period of a satellite is T=24 h = 86400 s that means it is in geostationary orbit around Earth. That means that the force of gravity Fg and the centripetal force Fcp are equal:
Fg=Fcp
m*g=m*(v²/R),
where m is mass, v is the velocity of the satelite and R is the height of the satellite and g=G*(M/r²), where G=6.67*10^-11 m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻², M is the mass of the Earth and r is the distance from the satellite.
Masses cancel out and we have:
G*(M/r²)=v²/R, R=r so:
G*(M/r)=v²
r=G*(M/v²), since v=ωr it means v²=ω²r² and we plug it in,
r=G*(M/ω²r²),
r³=G*(M/ω²), ω=2π/T, it means ω²=4π²/T² and we plug that in:
r³=G*(M/(4π²/T²)), and finally we take the third root to get r:
r=∛{(G*M*T²)/(4π²)}=4.226*10^7 m= 42 260 km which is the height of a geostationary satellite.
