I am in summer school for physics and I got this question for home work. A rock climber of mass 55 kg is hanging suspended from a rope tied to another climber of mass 65 kg on a horizontal cliff ledge. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the climber on the ledge and the ledge 0.45, what is the net acceleration of the climber on the ledge? I have been stuck on this question for 2 hours and I need it for tomorrow can anyone help me. Thanks

OK. The weight of the 55-kg guy who is hanging suspended is (mass) x (gravity) =
(55 x 9.8) = 539 newtons. That force soaks upward through the rope, makes the turn
at the edge, and is exerted horizontally against the 65-kg guy on the ledge.
Hopefully, the suspended guy can hold on for a few minutes longer, while we analyze
the forces around the heavier guy up on the ledge.
The weight of the guy on the ledge is (mass) x (gravity) = (65 x 9.8) = 637 newtons.
That's his weight, pointing downward, against the ledge.
As his boots slip along the ledge, the friction force against his motion is
(his weight) x (the coefficient of kinetic friction between him and the ledge) =
(637 newtons) x (0.45) = 286.65 newtons.
The man on the ledge has the rope pulling him toward the edge with 539N of force,
and 286.65N of friction force holding him back. You can see that he's slipping toward
the edge, because the friction force isn't enough to hold him.
The net force on him is (539N forward) + (286.65N backward) = 252.35N forward.
Since the man on the ledge has a net force pulling him forward toward the edge,
he accelerates in that direction.
Force = (mass) x (acceleration)
Acceleration = (force) / (mass) = (252.35N) / (65kg) = 3.88 meters per second²
He's sliding toward the edge with an acceleration of about 0.396 G ... his speed is increasing about 39 or 40% as fast as it will after he falls over the edge, and the both of them proceed toward their ultimate and apparently unavoidable 'splut' below.
I've totally terrified myself answering this one.

Answer : The momentum is, 357 kg.m/s
Explanation :
Momentum : It is defined as the motion of a moving body. Or it is defined as the product of mass of velocity of an object.
Formula of momentum is:
where,
p = momentum
m = mass = 75.0 kg
v = velocity = 5.00 m/s
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:
Therefore. the momentum is, 357 kg.m/s
75 kg × 5 m/sec = 375 kgm/s
Hope this helps :)

Explanation:
This is true that being rejected by a peer group can negatively influence one's self-esteem.
This is because when a person gets rejected then he himself develops an image that there might be something bad in me that is why people don't like me.
And when this rejection exceeds to an extent then there might be possibility that the person will become irritated and arrogant. Then he must be willing that whatever he wants he should have it no matter if it is legal or illegal according to him.
So, basically reject from people can lead to hatred, negative feelings, disappointment or dejection into a person.

Answer: a. nasal cavity
Explanation:
The nasal cavity is a external opening of the respiratory tract. This involves two canal like cavities through which air enters the respiratory tract and moves out of the body. These are the two hollow spaces within the nose each of which consists of mucus and lined up with the hairs.
The primary function of the two nasal cavities is to moisturize, warm and filter the air entering the respiratory tract. These cavities filter out environmental contaminants like dust, pollen, molds and others.
