A family is skating at an ice rink. The 58.2 kg mother is holding the hand of her 35.5 kg daughter. The father grabs his wife's free hand and pulls horizontally with a constant force of 100. N. Assume that the skates glide without friction on the ice and that the family's hands andarms approximate ideal strings. How much net force does the daughter experience?

When I got this question I had to draw it out so if you have to do that, draw 3 stick figures holding hands, one representing the mother, father, and daughter. Then you write their weights on top of them and then draw an arrow pointing from the father to the mother.

Explanation:

use this formula :

=

then you fill it in :

=

=

=

then you multiply that with the daughters weight :

and that's the answer :) : 37.89N

air exerts forces on falling objects near earth’s surface.

explanation:

the term 'free falls' refer to object that are falling towards the earth, in a situation in which gravity is the only force acting on the object.

for an object in free fall, the acceleration is constant (g, the gravitational acceleration), and so the velocity of the object constantly increases.

for objects near earth's surface, there is always another force acting on the object: the resistance due to the air. this force is opposed to the direction of fall of the object, and it is proportional to the velocity of the object, so as the object falls down, this force increases up to a point when it balances the force of gravity, and the object continues its motion at constant velocity (called terminal velocity). since in this case gravity is not the only force acting on the object, we are not in a situation of free fall.
