While sliding a couch across a floor, Andrea and Jennifer exert forces FA and F on the couch. Andrea's force is due north with a

magnitude of 140.0 N and Jennifer's force is 260 east of north with a magnitude of 220.0 N (a) Find the net force (in N) in component form. net : (b) Find the magnitude (in N) and direction (in degrees counterclockwise from the east axis) of the net force magnitude direction X o counterclockwise from the east axis (c) If Andrea and Jennifer's housemates, David and Stephanie, disagree with the move and want to prevent its relocation, with what combined force Fos (in N) should they push so that the couch does not move? (Express your answer in vector form.) Fos

Answer:

See the answers and the explanation below.

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must make a free body diagram with the forces applied as well as the direction. In the attached images we can see the nomenclature of the direction of the forces and the free body diagram.

a)

<u>Sum of forces in y-axis</u>

<u />

Fy = 140 - (220*sin(10))

Fy = 101.8 [N]

<u>Sum of forces in x-axis</u>

<u />

Fx = - (220*cos(10))

Fx = - 216.65 [N]

b)

For the above result, for there to be balance we realize that we need one equal to the resulting y-axis but in the opposite direction and another opposite force in direction but equal in magnitude on the x-axis.

Fy = - 101.8 [N]

Fx =   216.65 [N]

c )

Now we need to use the Pythagorean theorem to find the result of these forces.

F = \sqrt{(101.8)^{2} +(216.65)^{2} } \\F=239.4[N]

And the direction will be as follows.

α = tan^(-1) (101.8 / 216.65)

α = 25.16° (south to the east)

F = 216.65 i - 101.8 j [N]

The Pilot of a plane measures an air velocity of 165Km/h south relative to the plane. An observer on
AVprozaik [17]

The speed obtained by the pilot is not accurate since it is measuring the rate of travel in the wind, true velocity is that compared to the ground. Therefore the speed of the wind is:

v wind = 165 - 145

v wind = 20 km/h<span>

<span>Therefore the wind velocity = 20 km/h against the plane.</span></span>

A Rankine oval is formed by combining a source-sink pair, each having a strength of 36 ft2/s and separated by a distance of 15 f
Rashid [163]

Answer:

0.28 ft

Explanation:

We are given that

Strength=m=36ft^2/s

Distance between source and sink=15 ft

Distance between the sink of the source and origin=a=\frac{15}{2} ft

Uniform velocity, U=12 ft/s

We have to find the length of the oval.

Formula to find the half length of the body

\frac{l}{a}=(\frac{m}{\pi Ua}+1)^{\frac{1}{2}}

Where a=Distance between sink of source and origin

U=Uniform velocity

m=Strength

l=Half length

Using the formula

\frac{l}{\frac{15}{2}}=(\frac{36}{\pi\times 12\times \frac{15}{2}}+1)^{\frac{1}{2}}

l=\frac{2}{15}(\frac{36}{\pi\times 12\times \frac{15}{2}}+1)^{\frac{1}{2}}

l=0.14

Length of oval=2l=2(0.14)=0.28 ft

If an element has 20 protons and 20 neutrons in the nucleus of its atoms , what is the mass number of the atom?
Ilya [14]

Answer:

A=z+n

A=20+20

A=40

Explanation:

Not sure if I'm correct but I was taught that mass number is calculated by A=z+n where A is the mass number, z is the proton number and n is the number of neutrons.

In an electrical circuit, "_____" refers to the rate at which electrical energy is transformed into another kind of energy.
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

<em>Electrical power</em>

Explanation:

<em>Electrical power:</em> Electric power (P) is defined as the energy (W) used or produced or transformed per seconds.

Power = Energy produced/transformed/time taken.

P = W/t................................ Equation 1

Where t = time taken

But,

W = VIt................................ Equation 2

Substituting equation 2 into equation 1

P = VIt/t

P = VI............................ Equation 3

or

P = V²/R or P = I²R.

The unit of power is J/s or Volt-ampere is called watt (W).

Large amount of electric power are required in the industry

1 kW = 1000 W

1 MW = 1000000 W

1 h.p = 3/4 kW.
