The two-second rule.
It is a common guideline to follow while driving.
It means that any given driver should be AT LEAST two seconds behind any vehicle that is driving in front of his vehicle. It might apply for any kind of vehicle.
9.8m per seccond is the speed of gravity if you drop something like a ball from a tower
Take east to be the positive direction. Then the resultant force from adding <em>F</em>₁ and <em>F</em>₂ is
<em>F</em>₁ + <em>F</em>₂ = (-45 N) + 63 N = 18 N
which is positive, so it's directed east.
To this we add a third force <em>F</em>₃ such that the resultant is 12 N pointing west, making it negative, so that
18 N + <em>F</em>₃ = -12 N
<em>F</em>₃ = -30 N
So <em>F</em>₃ has a magnitude of 30 N and points west.
