- 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.
.
.
The sum of forces on each direction will be the resultant force on that direction:
- Resultant force parallel to the 8 N force:
. - Resultant force normal to the 8 N force:
.
Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find the magnitude of the resultant force.
(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:
.
Find the size of the angle using inverse tangent:
.
In other words, the resultant force is 17.0° relative to the 8 N force.
Answer:
1 kg lead to earth is greater attraction as mass of earth is much more than 1kg lead.
Explanation:
Objects with more mass have more gravity. Gravity also gets weaker with distance. So, the closer objects are to each other, the stronger their gravitational pull is. Earth's gravity comes from all its mass
Answer:
<h2>15.25 N</h2>
Explanation:
A force of
is acting on a wagon along the road. The wagon weights
. Acceleration of the wagon is given as
.
Consider the block as the system, the forces acting are Frictional force, Gravitational force, Normal reaction and External force applied by us.
Gravitational Force and Normal Reaction cancel out each other.
Net External Force = Mass of system/wagon
Acceleration of wagon

has a negative sign because it opposes the motion of the wagon.
∴ Frictional Force = 15.25 N
