Your GPS shows that your friend’s house is 10.0 km away. But there is a big hill between your houses and you don’t want to bike
there directly. You know your friend’s street is 6.0 km north of your street. How far do you have to ride before turning north to get to your friend’s house?

Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The distance of friends house from your point is
The distance of your friends street from your street is
The diagram illustrating this question is shown on the first uploaded image
From the diagram we can apply by Pythagoras theorem as follows

Answer:
a) Fg = -27.4 N
b) Fnet = 5.2 N
c) a = 1.9 m/s2
Explanation:
a)
- There are two forces acting on the ball, one directed upward (assuming this direction as positive, along the y-axis) which is the tension on the string (lifting force), and another aimed downward, which is the attractive force due to gravity.
- Applying the Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation to a mass close to the surface of the Earth (in this case the ball), we can take the acceleration due to gravity like a constant, that we call by convention g, equal to -9.8 m/s2.
- So, we can write the following expression for Fg:
b)
- The net force on the ball, will be just the difference between the lifting force (32.6 N) and the force due to gravity, Fg:
c)
- According Newton's 2nd Law, the acceleration caused by a net force on a point mass (we can take the ball as one) is given by the following expression:
