A boy who exerts a 300-N force on the ice of a skating rink is pulled by his friend with a force of 75 N, causing the boy to accelerate across the ice. If drag and the friction from the ice apply a force of 5 N on the boy, what is the magnitude of the net force acting on him? (a) 70 N (b) 370 N (c) 80 N (d) 380 N

Choice a. , assuming that the skating rink is level.

Explanation:

There are two horizontal forces acting on the boy:

The boy should be moving in the direction of the pull of his friend. The frictions on this boy should oppose that motion. Therefore, the frictions on the boy would be in the opposite direction of the pull of his friend.

The net force in the horizontal direction should then be the difference between the pull of the friend, and the friction on this boy.

.

The net force on this boy should be zero in the vertical direction. Consider Newton's Second Law of motion. The net force on an object is proportional to its acceleration. In this question, the net force on this boy in the vertical direction should be proportional to the vertical acceleration of this boy.

However, because (by assumption) the ice rink is level, the boy has no motion in the vertical direction. His vertical acceleration will be zero. As a result, the net force on him should also be zero in the vertical direction.

Therefore, the (combined) net force on this boy would be:

.

answer;

d. are made mostly of liquid

explanation;

-the general   composition and structure planets includes; they have a thick gas and liquid layer covering a small,solid core. mostly the gases are hydrogen and helium atmosphere and layers of liquid hydrogen. for instance neptune and uranus are examples of the outer planets, they have a core covered by ice and ammonia.

-neptune's atmosphere is hydrogen and helium with a bit of methane so there is no oxygen to breath and the interior is made up of frozen water and ammonia with a rock and iron core. thus, there is no liquid water or solid surface to survive.
