Three people pull simultaneously on a stubborn donkey. Jack pulls eastward with a force of 64.7 N, Jill pulls with 61.5 N in the

northeast direction, and Jane pulls to the southeast with 171 N. (Since the donkey is involved with such uncoordinated people, who can blame it for being stubborn?) Find the magnitude of the net force the people exert on the donkey. What is the direction of the net force? Express this as the angle from the east direction between 0.

Answer:

 F = 241.8 N    θ = -18.7

Explanation:

To find the net force, we use Newton's second law, for this we decompose the force using trigonomer

Force 2

    F2 = 61.5 N

   cos 45 = F₂ₓ / F2         F₂ₓ = F2 cos 45

   sin 45 = F₂_y / F2          F₂_y = F2 sin 45

     

force 3

     F3 = 171 N

     cos 45 = F₃ₓ / F3

     sin 45 = F₃_y / F3

the total force can be found with its components

axis x direction (East-West)

      Fₓ = 64.7 +61.5 cos 45 + 171 cos 45

      Fₓ = 229.1 N

Y axis (direction North -Sur)

     F_y = 61.5 sin 45 - 171 sin 45

     F_y = - 77,428 N

the resulting force is

      F = Fx i ^ + Fy j ^

      F = (229.1 i⁻ 77,428 j⁾ N

we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the module

       F = √ (229.1 2 + 77,428 2)

       F = 241.8 N

let's use trigonometry to find the direction

     tan θ = F_y / Fₓ

     θ = tan⁻¹ (F_y / Fₓ)

     θ = tan⁻¹ (-77,428 / 229.1)

     θ = -18.7

As the hot gas from a space shuttle is released downward, what does this cause to happen?
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

D. Upward force on the shuttle

Explanation:

The hot gas from space shuttles released downward causes an upward force on the shuttle and propels it up the more.

  • This hot gas is produced from super cooled oxygen and hydrogen tanks within the shuttle.
  • The upward force on the shuttle allows the craft to escape the gravitational pull of the earth on the shuttle
  • Special level of rapid acceleration must be attained for the shuttle to escape the earth pull.

If our planet was twice as far away how would the Earth’s orbit change?
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

One of the indirect proofs that orbits change is actually in the growth of our own teeth when we were children. our teeth are some of the most basic, and primitive

parts of our bodies. They grow on a 9 day cycle, which was an ancient full moon to full moon cycle when the Earth and the Moon were a lot smaller, and closer together, and the co-orbital period was only 9 days, not the 29.5 days that it is currently.

So Given any two " Planets " that co-orbit a common gravitational center, the larger planet will grow larger far faster than the smaller planet, and the larger planet will accelerate the smaller planet to a higher orbit with a longer period, and decelerate itself to a lower orbit with a longer period, and the absolute value of the center to center distance will increase, and the orbital period will increase. The two orbs and their common gravitational center will remain co-linear through out the gradual growing and changing process.

This is an important process for the enlargement of the solar system as time passes, and an important process for larger galaxies as they attract and merge with smaller galaxies.

All of the planets grow larger at an accelerating rate, and thus systems spiral outward concentrating mass into larger and fewer galaxies, solar systems, and planet - moon systems.

Marcus drove his Honda Prelude for 4 hours at a rate of 55 miles per hour. How far did he travel?
galben [10]
To solve this, you’d multiply 55 by 4, because he is travelling 55 miles every hour, for four hours, which means 55 miles every hour. The answer would be 220.

If one bulb broke in series circuit the other will light up ?
Charra [1.4K]
It makes no difference whether there are two bulbs or 1000 bulbs. If they are all in series then when one bulb burns out, or one little piece of wire between two bulbs comes loose, ALL of them go dark. In that situation it's a challenge to find where the break in the circuit is because all of the bulbs are dark.
