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

The horizontal force will be equivalent to the total force multiplied by the cosine of the angle between them, that is, since the angle is 62.0 degrees from the ground, we multiply the force by cos 62.
So the total force will be 4cos62 = 1.88 Newtons of force.

Answer:

Since air resistance actually stops vehicles and goes in a vector opposite to the direction of the vehicle and slows it down. Vehicles would want to make vehicles aerodynamic. Many cars bump into air molecules therefore making air resistance. Aerodynamic cars will lesser the allowance of bumping into said molecules. Thats why cars like to cut down on air resistance
