Answer:
26.83 N.
Explanation:
If the angle between two vector is 90°, to get the resultant, we use Pythagoras theorem.
a² = b²+c²......................... Equation 1
Where a = R = Resultant, b = 12 N, c = 24 N.
Substitute these values into equation 1
R² = 12²+24²
R² = 144+576
R² = 720
√R² = √720
R = 26.83 N.
Hence, the result of the two force is 26.83 N.
The average speed would be 0.65 m/s, therefore the correct option is (A).
The average speed is calculated by the formula
Average speed= (total distance/ total time)
The total distance of the trip=9.5+3.5+15=28 m
The total time of trip=43 sec
Therefore the average speed=28/43=0.65 m/s.
