Answer:
20 [N], in the opposite direction of the first force.
Explanation:
We know that newton's second law stipulates that the sum of forces on a body must be equal to the product of mass by acceleration.
![SumF = m*a\\30 + F = 2*5\\F = 30 - (2*5)\\F = - 20 [N]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=SumF%20%3D%20m%2Aa%5C%5C30%20%2B%20F%20%3D%202%2A5%5C%5CF%20%3D%2030%20-%20%282%2A5%29%5C%5CF%20%3D%20-%2020%20%5BN%5D)
The negative sign means that the other force acting on the body must be in the opposite direction to the force of 30 [N]
complete question:
An observer at the top of a 462-ft cliff measures the angle of depression from the top of the cliff to a point on the ground to be 5°. What is the distance from the base of the cliff to the point on the ground? Round to the nearest foot
Answer:
a ≈ 5281 ft
Explanation:
The observer at the top of a 462 ft cliff measures the angle of depression from the top of the cliff to a point on the ground to be 5°.
The angle of depression form the top of the cliff = 5°
The 5° is outside the triangle formed . To find the angle in the triangle we have to subtract 5° from 90°. 90° - 5° = 85° Note sum of an angle on a right angle is 90°.
using SOHCAHTOA principle we can solve for the distance from the base of the cliff to the point on the ground(a)
tan 85° = opposite / adjacent
tan 85° = a / 462
cross multiply
462 × tan 85° = a
a = 11.4300523 × 462
a = 5280.66 ft
a ≈ 5281 ft
Answer is 3. Volume= mass divided by density
True. Since Inertia states this law, we are bound to believe greater mass = greater resistance in change of motion
