Answer:

0 m/s²

Explanation:

Since each skater pushes the other with a force of 70 N, according to Newton's third law, there is an equal reaction and thus the other pushes back with a force of 70 N in the other direction, so we have forces of +70N and -70 N respectively. So, the net force on each skateboarder is F = + 70 N + (-70 N) = + 70 N - 70 N = 0 N.

Since force, F = ma where a = acceleration and m = mass,

a = F/m.

So, since for each skater, F = 0N,

a = 0 N/m

= 0 m/s²

So, the acceleration of each skater is 0 m/s²

which word means "the history of life in the geologic past as indicated by the imprints or remains of living things?

love history [14]

The history of life in the geologic past as indicated by the imprints or remains of living thing is called FOSSIL RECORD.<span> It is the evolution that unfolded over trillion of years as natural and environmental interacts based on the natural selection. The fossil record is among the most popular evidences of evolution. It shows the way of living, the type of people, the survival struggles of the ancient people in the old times. All these types of remains are recorded that makes up the fossil record. </span>

A force acting over a large area will exert less pressure per square inch than the same force acting over a smaller area.

babunello [35]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Pressure is defined as:

$p=\frac{F}{A}$

where

F is the magnitude of the force perpendicular to the surface

A is the surface

Therefore, pressure is inversely proportional to the area of the surface:

$p\propto \frac{1}{A}$

this means that, assuming that the forces in the two situations (which have same magnitude) are both applied perpendicular to the surface, the force exerted over the smaller area will exert a greater pressure. Hence, the statement"

<em>"A force acting over a large area will exert less pressure per square inch than the same force acting over a smaller area"</em>

is true.

A ball with an initial velocity of 12 m/s is rolling up a hill. The ball accelerates at a rate of -2.6 m/s/s.

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

4.61 seconds

Explanation:

Given data

Initial velocity= 12m/s

acceleration= -2.6m/s^2

From the given data

we can find the time t

we know that

Acceleration= velocity/time

time= velocity/acceleration

time= 12/2.6

time= 4.61 seconds

A train travels 70 kilometers in 1 hours, and then 63 kilometers in 2 hours. What is its average speed?

lozanna [386]

The answer is: " 44 $\frac{1}{3}$ km " ;
or; write as: " 44.333 km " .
___________________________________________________________
Explanation:
___________________________________________________________
(70 km + 63 km) ÷ (2 + 1 ) = 133 km ÷ 3 = " 44 $\frac{1}{3}$ km " ;
or; write as: " 44.333 km " .
