  • Magnitude: 12.1 N.
  • Direction: 17.0° to the 8 N force.
<h3>Explanation</h3>

Refer to the diagram attached (created with GeoGebra). Consider the 5 N force in two directions: parallel to the 8 N force and normal to the 8 N force.

  • \displaystyle F_{\text{1, Parallel}} = F_1 \cdot \cos{45^\textdegree} = \dfrac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}\;\text{N}.
  • \displaystyle F_{\text{1, Normal}} = F_1 \cdot \sin{45^\textdegree} = \dfrac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}\;\text{N}.

The sum of forces on each direction will be the resultant force on that direction:

  • Resultant force parallel to the 8 N force: (8 + \dfrac{5\sqrt{2}}{2})\;\text{N}.
  • Resultant force normal to the 8 N force: \dfrac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}\;\text{N}.

Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find the magnitude of the resultant force.

\displaystyle \Sigma F = \sqrt{{(8 + \dfrac{5\sqrt{2}}{2})}^2 + {(\dfrac{5\sqrt{2}}{2})}^2} = 12.1\;\text{N} (3 sig. fig.).

The size of the angle between the resultant force and the 8 N force can be found from the tangent value of the angle. Tangent of the angle:

\displaystyle \dfrac{\Sigma F_\text{Normal}}{\Sigma F_\text{Parallel}} = \dfrac{8 + \dfrac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}}{\dfrac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}} \approx 0.306491.

Find the size of the angle using inverse tangent:

\displaystyle \arctan{ \dfrac{\Sigma F_\text{Normal}}{\Sigma F_\text{Parallel}}} = \arctan{0.306491} = 17.0\textdegree.

In other words, the resultant force is 17.0° relative to the 8 N force.

The potential energy of a 25 kg bicycle resting at the top of a 3 m high hill is _______ J
frozen [14]
The potential energy:
E p = m · g · h
m = 25 kg,  g = 9.81 m/s²,  h = 3 m
E p = 25 kg · 9.81 m/s² · 3 m = 735.75 J
