All the forces may be present.

The child on the sled has a weight- which is due to the force of gravity on the child and the sled.

The sled and the child exert a force on the ground equal to the combined weight of the sled and the child. The ground exerts a normal force on the sled.

The force used by the father to pull the sled is the applied force.

The sled slides on the ground and as a result, the force of friction exists between the ground and the sled, directed opposite to the direction of the motion of the sled.

The father pulls the sled using a rope. As a result, the rope is under Tension.

As the sled moves it also experiences a force of air resistance, which is dependent on the sled's speed.

However, since the father pulls the sled along with constant speed, the sum of all the forces acting on the sled is zero.

Since there is no movement in the upward or downward directions, the weight of the child and the sled is equal to the normal force acted upon the sled by the ground.

The force applied by the father on the rope is equal to the tension in the rope.

Friction and air resistance act opposite to the direction of motion of the sled. for the sled to move at constant speed, the tension in the rope must be equal to the sum of the forces due to friction and air resistance.

Which of the following is an example of an electromagnetic wave? (2 points)
Maru [420]
A) red light
red lights are an example of an electromagnetic wave. visible lights are the only electromagnetic waves we can actually see on the spectrum. red, in particular has the biggest wavelength.

b) ocean waves
ocean waves are not an electromagnetic wave. in fact, it’s a mechanical wave. electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum, that is empty space, but mechanical waves cannot.

c) sound waves
sound waves are also not an electromagnetic wave. it’s a mechanical wave. you cannot hear electromagnetic waves.

d) earthquakes
an earthquake is also not an example of electromagnetic waves. it’s a mechanical wave.

hope this helps!

A student has the following equipment - copper wire, nail made of iron,a battery, paperclips.
Anna11 [10]
Taking the copper wire, he has to wind it around the nail made of iron. After which, he then connect both ends of the copper wire to the battery, so an electric charge travels through the wire. This is the basic electromagnet. Since a current is now flowing through the wire, a magnetic field is produced. Placing the electromagnet near the mixture of copper and iron, the magnet should attract the pieces of iron, as iron is more magnetic compared to copper. This is done over a period of time, so that only the copper pieces are left in the mixture.

Why does it rain a lot?
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

Clouds are made up of tiny water droplets. ... As more and more droplets join together they become too heavy and fall from the cloud as rain. Warm air can hold more moisture than cool air. When the warmer air is cooled and the moisture condenses, it often rains more heavily.
