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

A figure skater skates across a rink of length 50 m in 12.1 seconds. a. What is the average speed of the skater? (2 points) b. I

melamori03 [73]

(a) The skater covers a distance of S=50 m in a time of t=12.1 s, so its average speed is the ratio between the distance covered and the time taken:
$v= \frac{S}{t}= \frac{50 m}{12.1 s}=4.13 m/s$

(b) The initial speed of the skater is
$v_i = 4 m/s$
while the final speed is
$v_f = 5.3 m/s$
and the time taken to accelerate to this velocity is t=2 s, so the acceleration of the skater is given by
$a= \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}= \frac{5.3 m/s-4.0 m/s}{2.0 s}=0.65 m/s^2$

(c) The initial speed of the skater is
$v_i = 13.0 m/s$
while the final speed is
$v_f=0$
since she comes to a stop. The distance covered is S=8 m, so we can use the following relationship to find the acceleration of the skater:
$2aS=v_f^2 -v_i^2$
from which we find
$a= \frac{-v_i^2}{2S}= \frac{-(13.0m/s)^2}{2 \cdot 8.0 m}=-10.6 m/s^2$
where the negative sign means it is a deceleration.

A system is a group of parts that can be considered one unit. Storm systems, ecosystems, and our bodies are natural systems. Car

iragen [17]

The best system to talk about would be a galaxy system. Energy does not enter the galaxy, but it does "recycle" its energy. For instance, when the life of a star comes to its end, it can go super nova. and all the energy from that star is then released back into the galaxy to form nebula's and then eventually into other stars. The energy inside of a galaxy can change frequently. It can be in the form of heat from a star, or it can change into gamma radiation from an explosion. Gases like helium and hydrogen come together and form a ball of gas creating the heat. Then the heat is dispersed leaving different types of radiation like gamma, ultra-violet, microwave, and infrared. Energy can leave a system by the local black holes. Black holes with shoot out Hawking radiation is when the black hole disperses its own energy out into space, also known as Black Hole Evaporation<span>. The energy from that black hole is then dispersed into the rest of the universe or possibly back into the galaxy from which it came from. </span>

It has been theorized that all of the modern continents on Earth were once part of a single continent. What scientific evidence

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

It is not just one of these answers, in fact they all make sense. But the one I learned in school was that when the continents were still one super continent- Pangea, animals fossilized wear the borders of modern day continents were. This later on scientists found half of an animal fossil on the edge of one continent and the other half on the edge of a different continent.

hope this helps

A train car has a mass of 10,000 kg and is moving at +3.0 m/s. It strikes an identical train car that is at rest. The train cars

shtirl [24]

In order to compute the final velocity of the trains, we may apply the principle of conservation of momentum which is:
initial momentum = final momentum
m₁v₁ = m₂v₂

The final mass of the trains will be:
10,000 + 10,000 = 20,000 kg
Substituting the values into the equation:

10,000 * 3 = 20,000 * v
v = 1.5 m/s

The final velocity of the trains will be 1.5 m/s
