Answer:
(a) Fₓ = 0 N
= 9.08 N
(b)
(a) Fₓ = 0 N
<u></u> = 9.08 N
(c) = 0 N
Fₓ = 9.08 N
Explanation:
The magnitude of the force will remain the same in each case, which is given as follows:
F = ma (Newton's Second Law)
where,
F = force = ?
m = mass = 4.54 kg
a = acceleration = 2 m/s²
Therefore,
F = (4.54 kg)(2 m/s²)
F = 9.08 N
Now, we come to each scenario:
(a)
Since the motion is in the vertical direction. Therefore the magnitude of the force in x-direction will be zero:
<u>Fₓ = 0 N</u>
For upward direction the force will be positive:
<u></u><u> = 9.08 N</u>
<u></u>
(b)
Since the motion is in the vertical direction. Therefore the magnitude of the force in x-direction will be zero:
<u>Fₓ = 0 N</u>
For upward direction the force will be negative:
<u></u><u> = - 9.08 N</u>
<u></u>
(c)
Since the motion is in the horizontal direction. Therefore the magnitude of the force in y-direction will be zero:
<u></u><u> = 0 N</u>
<u>Fₓ = 9.08 N</u>
