Answer

given,

F₁ = 15 lb

F₂ = 8 lb

θ₁ = 45°

θ₂ = 25°

Assuming the question's diagram is attached below.

now,

computing the horizontal component of the forces.

F_h = F₁ cos θ₁ - F₂ cos θ₂

F_h = 15 cos 45° - 8 cos 25°

F_h = 3.36 lb

now, vertical component of the forces

F_v = F₁ sin θ₁ + F₂ sin θ₂

F_v = 15 sin 45° + 8 sin 25°

F_v = 13.98 lb

resultant force would be equal to

F = \sqrt{F_h^2+F_v^2}

F = \sqrt{3.36^2+13.98^2}

F = 14.38 lb

the magnitude of resultant force is equal to 14.38 lb

direction of forces

\theta =tan^{-1}(\dfrac{F_v}{F_h})

\theta =tan^{-1}(\dfrac{13.98}{3.36})

   θ = 76.48°

A dog is 10 m from a cat, whose speeds are 6 and 5 m / s, respectively. What time does the dog require to catch the cat?
scoray [572]

Answer:

10 seconds

Explanation:

because the cat is moving one m/s slower than the dog, the dog has a relative speed of 1 m/s. 10 meters would take 10 seconds for the dog to cover
