Because direction is an essential feature of a force.  Two forces
with equal strengths can have the combined effect of any size force
between zero and double the strength of either one alone, and pointing
in any direction, depending on their directions.

A(n) 30 kg boy rides a roller coaster. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . With what force does he press against the seat
forsale [732]

Answer:

Force, F = 187.42 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of boy, m = 30 kg

Acceleration due to gravity, a=9.8\ m/s^2

Radius of curvature of the roller coaster, r = 15 m

Speed of the car, v = 7.3 m/s

The force acting on the boy are force of gravity and the centripetal force. The net force acting on him is as follows :

F=mg-\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

F=m(g-\dfrac{v^2}{r})

F=30\times (9.8-\dfrac{(7.3)^2}{15})

F = 187.42 N

So, he press against the seat with a force is 187.42 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

The shifting of the observed wavelength of light due to the motion of the source toward or away from the observer is called the
alexdok [17]

Answer:

doppler effect

Explanation:

When the relative motion of two bodies results in the wavelength becoming shorter this means that the bodies are getting closer. This is known as blue shift.

When the relative motion of two bodies results in the wavelength becoming longer this means that the bodies are getting farther. This is known as red shift.

Collectively this phenomenon is known as the Doppler effect.
