Three people pull simultaneously on a stubborn donkey. Jack pulls directly ahead of the donkey with a force of 64.7 N64.7 N , Ji

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

(a) Magnitude of force is 262.51 N

(b) Angle with East direction is $-14.75^{o}$

Explanation:

Force by Jack in vector form

$\overrightarrow F _1} = 64.7{\rm{ N}}\left( {\hat i} \right)$

Force by Jill in Vector form is given by

$\begin{array}{c}\\{\overrightarrow F _2} = 86.5{\rm{ N }}\cos {\rm{4}}{{\rm{5}}^{\rm{o}}}\left( {\hat i} \right) + 86.5{\rm{ N }}\sin {\rm{4}}{{\rm{5}}^{\rm{o}}}\left( {\widehat j} \right)\\\\ = 61.16{\rm{ N}}\left( {\hat i} \right) + 61.16{\rm{ N}}\left( {\widehat j} \right)\\\end{array}$

Force by Jane is

$\begin{array}{c}\\{\overrightarrow F _3} = 181{\rm{ N }}\cos {\rm{4}}{{\rm{5}}^{\rm{o}}}\left( {\hat i} \right) + 181{\rm{ N }}\sin {\rm{4}}{{\rm{5}}^{\rm{o}}}\left( { - \widehat j} \right)\\\\ = 128{\rm{ N}}\left( {\hat i} \right) + 128{\rm{ N}}\left( { - \widehat j} \right)\\\end{array}$

Net force is:

$\overrightarrow F = {\overrightarrow F _1} + {\overrightarrow F _2} + {\overrightarrow F _3}$

Hence

$\begin{array}{c}\\\overrightarrow F = 64.7{\rm{ N}}\left( {\hat i} \right) + 61.16{\rm{ N}}\left( {\hat i} \right) + 61.16{\rm{ N}}\left( {\widehat j} \right) + 128{\rm{ N}}\left( {\hat i} \right) + 128{\rm{ N}}\left( { - \widehat j} \right)\\\\ = 253.86{\rm{ N}}\left( {\hat i} \right) - 66.84{\rm{ N}}\left( {\widehat j} \right)\\\end{array}$

The net force will be given by

$F = \sqrt {{{\left( {{F_x}} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {{F_y}} \right)}^2}$

Since $F_{x}=253.86N$ and $F_{y}=-66.84N$

$\begin{array}{c}\\F = \sqrt {{{\left( {253.86{\rm{ N}}} \right)}^2} + {{\left( { - 66.84{\rm{ N}}} \right)}^2}} \\\\ = {\bf{262.51 N}}\\\end{array}$

The direction of net force is:

$\theta = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left {\frac{{{F_y}}}{{{F_x}}}}$

Since $F_{x}=253.86N$ and $F_{y}=-66.84N$

$\begin{array}{c}\\\theta = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{{ - 66.84{\rm{ N}}}}{{253.86{\rm{ N}}}}} \right)\\\\ = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( { - 0.2633} \right)\\\\ = {\bf{ - 14}}{\bf{.7}}{{\bf{5}}^{\bf{o}}}\\\end{array}$

The angle with East direction is $-14.75^{o}$

Net force exerted on the donkey is in the south-east direction. So, the angle of net force from the east direction is $-14.75^{o}$ and it is $14.75^{o}$ from the south.

A falling object is said to reach a constant velocity (terminal velocity)..

Lana71 [14]

C

Terminal velocity is the maximum velocity attainable by an object as it falls through a fluid (air is the most common example). It occurs when the sum of the drag force (Fd) and the buoyancy is equal to the downward force of gravity (FG) acting on the object.(Wikipedia)

Hi please answer and show your work

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\sf P.E. = 240\ MJ}$

$\huge\boxed{\sf K.E. = 19.6\ MJ}$

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

Mass = m = 200,000 kg

Vertical Distance = h = 120 m

Speed = v = 14 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity = g = 10 m/s²

<u>Required:</u>

1) Gravitational Potential Energy = P.E = ?

2) Kinetic Energy = K.E. = ?

<u>Formula:</u>

1) P.E. = mgh

2) K.E. = $\displaystyle \frac{1}{2} mv^2$

<u>Solution:</u>

1) P.E. = (200,000)(10)(120)

P.E. = 240,000,000 Joules

P.E. = 240 Mega Joules

P.E. = 240 MJ

2) K.E. = 1/2 (200000)(14)^2

K.E. = (100000)(196)

K.E. = 19,600,000 Joules

K.E. = 19.6 MJ

$\rule[225]{225}{2}$

Hope this helped!
