Question

Sue and Jenny kick a soccer ball at exactly the same time. Sue’s foot exerts a force of 52.6 N to the north. Jenny’s foot exerts a force of 112.8 N to the east. a) What is the magnitude of the resultant force on the ball? Answer in units of N.

Answer 1

Answer:

124N

Explanation:

Answer 2

Using the addition of forces using right angled triangles. The resultant force sqaured. = 112.8 sqaured + 52.6 squared. So resultant force sqaured is 15490.6. So the resultant force is the sqaure root of this which is 124N to 3 significant figures
