Answer: 1.88 N
Explanation:
Data:
Force = 4.00N
angle = 62°
horizontal force = ?
Solution:
The trigonometric ratio that relates horizontal - leg to hypotenuse is the cosine.
That ratio is:
horizontal - leg
cos(angle) = -------------------------
hypotenuse
So, applied to the force, that is:
horizontal force
cos (angle) = -----------------------------------
total force
So, clearing the horizontal component you get:
horizontal force = force * cos (angle)
Substitute the data given:
horizontal force = 4.00N * cos(62°) = 4.00N * 0.4695 = 1.88 N
Answer: 1.88N
Explanation:
The net force of each square is the combination of the forces in each direction. The direction is the... direction the square would go in due to the net force. The magnitude of the net force is how large it is. So if you had a force pushing 2N to the left and 1N to the right, then the net force would be 1N to the left; because the two oppose eachother. If they were going in the same direction, then they'd add to each other. And perpendicular net forces (like one pushing up and another pushing left) can create net forces in diagonal directions.
I'm not going to do all of these for you because they're basically all the same thing and it's good practice for you anyway. But I'll do the first three just so you can get the idea:
1. The net force's magnitude is 4N and it's direction is to the right.
2. The net force's magnitude is 4N and it's direction is to the left.
3. The net force's magnitude is 0N and it has no direction because they are equal forces acting in opposite directions.
Answer:
They will never meet.
Explanation:
Given that three sharks are located at the vertices of an equilateral triangle whose side equals LL. They all start moving simultaneously with a constant speed vv, with the first shark heading constantly toward the second, the second toward the third, and the third toward the first. How soon will the sharks converge at one point ?
Since the three sharks are located at the vertices of an equilateral triangle whose side equals, and the first shark is moving toward the second, the second is moving toward the third, and the third shark is moving toward the first, the movement of the three shark will form a circular motion.
Since the three sharks are moving at a constant speed, the three sharks will never meet because the distances between them are also the same.
The three sharks will therefore continue to move till infinity.
