Explanation :

When a person is sliding with constant velocity, the forces that are acting on him are :

(1) Weight, W = mg where g is acceleration due to gravity.

(2) Friction forces acting opposite to the direction of motion.

(3) Normal force.

The forces acting on the person is balanced because the person is sliding with constant velocity.

From figure it is clear that, friction force is balanced by w\ sin\theta and normal is balanced by w\ cos\theta.

Answer:

It is D.

Explanation:

Gravity and friction are acting on the person. The forces are balanced. There is no net force because the person is moving at a constant velocity. In this example, there is no net force when a mass moves at constant velocity. Although friction is acting on the person, there is no change in velocity and friction is not a net force in this case. Friction is only a net force if it changes the velocity of a mass. If friction slowed the person down, then there is a net force.

Take another look at lines 2 and 3. Suppose you use distance and time between any pair of neighboring dots to calculate speed:
Nataly [62]

Answer:

Add the two speeds together.

Then, divide the sum by two. This will give you the average speed for the entire trip. So, if Ben traveled 40 mph for 2 hours, then 60 mph for another 2 hours, his average speed is 50 mph.

Olivia wants to find out whether a substance will fluoresce. She says she should put it in a microwave oven. Do you agree with h
andreyandreev [35.5K]
Disagree.
Fluoresce objects will only glow when put under actual Ultraviolet light. This is due to the molecules becoming excited by the ultraviolet radiation.


Microwaves give micro-waves that are present in another spectrum of wave length and will not be able to fluoresce the molecules. If it’s not “ultra violet “.... it’s not going to glow.

It is easier to drive In sharp nails in a piece of wood than the blunt ones why?
murzikaleks [220]

The sharp nail has a less surface area in comparison to a blunt nail and pressure is inversely proportional to area so it is easier to Hamer a sharp  nail into a wood rather than having a blunt nail in wood
