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)

Choice-'A' is the closest choice offered.

It is dangerous to stand near the railway leak when train passing by,why?​
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Because a person may be pulled in the direction of the moving train. Thereby causing accident

Explanation:

According to Daniel Bernoulli's theorem, he was widely known as a Mathematician. He stated that due to the higher velocity of a moving train, there is higher kinetic energy in terms of volume around it, while the air pressure between the person and the train becomes lower.

As a result, a person near a moving train may be pulled in the direction of the moving train. Thereby causing accidents that may lead to death.

As an object sinks in a fluid, the buoyant force ____.
german
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. As an object sinks in a fluid, the buoyant force increases before it is submerged and as the object is submerged the buoyant force stays the same. This can be explained by Archimedes principle.<span />
