An 80-kilogram skier slides on waxed skis along a horizontal surface of snow at constant velocity while pushing with his poles.
What is the horizontal force pushing him forward?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The force F is created by the reaction of the Earth to the thrust of the rods, whereby the thrust is created by a force of action and reaction.

Explanation:

To answer this question, let's write Newton's second law of the two axes

Y Axis  

        Fy + N - W = 0

        Fy + N = W

X axis

       Fx - fr = 0

      Fx = fr

The force F is created by the reaction of the Earth to the thrust of the rods, whereby the thrust is created by a force of action and reaction.

   The direction of this force is along the length of the rods that are in an Angle, where the x and y components of the force come from

In general this force is small because the rubbing of the skis is small

The the horizontal force pushing him forward, is created by the reaction of the Earth to the thrust of the rods.

The two axes in the Newton's second law of motion,

For, Y Axis  

       Fy + N - W = 0

       Fy + N = W

For, X axis

      Fx - Fr = 0

    Fx = Fr

Where,

Fx- force in the horizontal or x- axis.

The the horizontal force pushing him forward, is created by the reaction of the Earth to the thrust of the rods.
