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.

On a highway, a car is driven 80. kilometers
nydimaria [60]

The average speed of the car for the entire trip can be calculate by using:

v=\frac{S}{t}

where S is the total distance covered by the car, and t is the total time taken.


The total distance travelled by the car is:

S=80 km+50 km+40 km=170 km

while the total time taken is:

t=1.00 h+0.50 h+0.50 h=2.00 h


so, the average speed of the car is:

v=\frac{S}{t}=\frac{170 km}{2.00 h}=85 km/h


so, the correct answer is (3) 85 km/h.

What are 3 different forces that act on objects on the earth ΩvΩ
Stolb23 [73]
A force is a push or pull acting upon an object as a result of its interaction with another object. There are a variety of types of forces. a variety of force types were placed into two broad category headings on the basis of whether the force resulted from the contact or non-contact of the two interacting objects.

Contact Forces

Action-at-a-Distance Forces

Frictional Force
Gravitational Force
Tensional Force
Electrical Force
Normal Force
Magnetic Force
Air Resistance Force
Applied Force
Spring Force


These are types of individual forces



Applied Force
Gravitational Force

According to the navigation rules, which must be aboard a 22-foot powerboat
melomori [17]
The navigation rules for countries in the Unites States are compiled in the U.S. Coast Guard. There are actually boating courses that are recognized by the U.S Coast Guard. One of the things they discuss there is the emergency aids every boat should have depending on the size and purpose. For recreational vessels with lengths measuring less than 39.4 feet, they must carry aboard an efficient sound producing device. This will serve as your signal when emergencies happen and you have to get the attention of nearby boat vessels. Hence, for practical purposes, every boat should have a whistle or a horn.
