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.

How do valence electrons relate to the chemical reactions of an element?
11111nata11111 [884]
Valence electrons are required for certain bonding processes. Without them you cannot bond with certain elements. For example, carbon bonds really well with carbon because it has the same amount of valence electrons. However carbon would not bond well with uranium due to the massive differences in valence electrons. Hope this helps!

A 0.45 kg soccer ball changes its velocity by 20.0 m/s due to a force applied to it in 0.10 seconds. What force was necessary fo
Sonja [21]
For this problem, we will need the famous equation F=ma, as detailed by Isaac Newton.

F=mass x acceleration, where Force is in Newtons.

20 m/s represents the quantity of speed change, but to use in the equation, we need acceleration, not speed. Acceleration is the velocity change over a unit time, so changing 20 m/s in 0.1 seconds means that the acceleration was 200 m/s^2.

Plugging in all your numbers, you find:

F=(0.45 kg)(200 m/s^2) = 90 N of force.

What is the magnitude of a point charge in coulombs whose electric field 51 cm away has the magnitude 2.5 n/c?
Tema [17]

The magnitude of a point charge is 0.189 x 10⁻⁹C.

<h3>Steps</h3>

We have stated that the point charge's electric field is E=2.5 N/C.

Distance from point charge R = 51 cm = 0.51 m

We are aware that the electric field resulting from a point charge is given as E = 1 / 4π∈₀ × Q / R²

so 2.5 = 9 x 10⁹ Q/ 0.68²

The magnitude of a point charge is 0.189 x 10⁻⁹C.

The electric force per unit charge is referred to as the electric field. It is assumed that the field's direction corresponds to the force it would apply to a positive test charge.

From a positive point charge, the electric field radiates outward, and from a negative point charge, it radiates in.
