The force of friction = (weight) x (coefficient of friction)

Skier's weight = (mass) x (gravity) = (76.5) x (9.8) = 749.7 N

Force of friction = (749.7) x (coefficient of friction) = 60.0 N

Coefficient of friction = 60 / 749.7 = <u>0.08 </u> (rounded)

Which is the result of mitosis and cytokinesis?
Leno4ka [110]
During cytokinesis, the cytoplasm of the cell is divided in half, and the cell membrane grows to enclose each cell, forming two separate cells as a result. The end result of mitosis and cytokinesis is two genetically identical cells where only one cell existed before.

A car (mass 1200 kg, speed 100 km/h) and a truck (mass 2800 kg, speed 50 km/h) are moving in the same direction along a highway.
Sloan [31]

Answer:

Speed of the wreck after the collision is 65 km/h

Explanation:

When a car hits truck and sticks together, the  collision would be totally inelastic.  Since the both the vehicles  locked  together, they have the same final velocity.

Mass of car  m_{1}=1200 kg

Mass of truck m_{2}=2800 kg

Initial speed of the car u_{1}=100 km /h

Initial speed  of the truck u_{2}=50 km /h

The final velocity of the wreck will be

m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}

since final speed are same, v_{1}=v_{2}=v

m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=(m_{1}+m_{2})v

1200\times 100 +2800 \times 50 =(1200+2800)v\\v=\frac{260000}{4000} \\v=65 km/h
