Two forces act on an object. The first force has a magnitude of 17.0 N and is oriented 58.0 ° counterclockwise from the + x ‑axi

s, whereas the second force has x ‑ and y ‑components ( − 19.0 N , 16.5 N ) . Express the magnitude and direction of the net force.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

magnitude of the net force is 32.49N

and the direction of the net force is 107.91°

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Let the first force be F₁

Let the second force be F₂

Let the net force be F

<em>From the question;</em>

(a) F₁ has 17.0N in magnitude and has direction θ = 58.0° counterclockwise from +x axis. i.e

|F₁| = 17.0N

θ = 58.0°

<em>Re-write this force in vector form as follows;</em>

F₁ = |F₁| cos θ i + |F₁| sin θ j

F₁ = [17.0 cos 58.0°] i + [17.0 sin 58.0] j

F₁ = [17.0 x 0.5299] i + [17.0 x 0.8480] j

F₁ = [9.0083] i + [14.416] j

<em>Put the unit as follows;</em>

F₁ = [9.0083 N] i + [14.416 N] j

(b) F₂ is already written in vector form but can be re-written as follows;

F₂ = [-19.0N ] i + [16.5N] j

(c) The net force (F) is the algebraic sum of the two forces F₁ and F₂ as follows;

F = F₁ + F₂

<em>Substitute the values of F₁ and F₂ into the equation above;</em>

F =  [9.0083 N] i + [14.416 N] j + [-19.0N ] i + [16.5N] j

<em>Now, collect like terms;</em>

F =  [9.0083 N] i + [-19.0 N] i + [14.416N ] j + [16.5N] j

F = -9.9917 N i  + 30.916 N j                     ----------------(a)

===============================================================

(a) Now let's calculate the magnitude, |F|, of the net force as follows;

|F| = \sqrt{(-9.9917)^2 + (30.916)^2}

|F| = \sqrt{(99.83) + (955.80)}

|F| = \sqrt{1055.63}

|F| = 32.49N

Therefore, the magnitude of the net force is 32.49N

(b) The direction, θ, is calculated as follows;

tan θ = (y component / x component)

tan θ = (30.916 / -9.9917)

tan θ = (-3.094)

θ = tan ⁻¹ (-3.094)

θ = -72.09°

The negative sign shows that it is measured with respect to the -x axis.

From equation (a), it is shown that the net force is located in the -i and +j directions measured counterclockwise from the +x axis. Therefore, to get the true angle of the net force relative to the positive x axis and counterclockwise, we add 180° to the angle calculated above. i.e

true angle = 180° + (-72.09°)

true angle = 107.91°

Therefore, the direction of the net force is 107.91° counterclockwise from the +x axis.

marta [7]

Answer: hello question b is incomplete attached below is the missing question

a) attached below

b) V = 0.336 ft/s

Explanation:

Elongation ( Xo)  = 16/ 7 feet

mass attached to 4-foot spring = 16 pounds

medium has 9/2 times instanteous velocity

<u>a) Find the equation of motion if the mass is initially released from the equilibrium position with a downward velocity of 2 ft/s</u>

The motion is an underdamped motion because the value of β < Wo

Wo = 3.741 s^-1

To determine the height of a tall building such as Sears Tower in Chicago, Illinois a ball was dropped from the top of the build
Darya [45]

Answer:

The height of Sears Tower is 1448.5 feet.

Explanation:

<h3>We apply the free fall formula to the ball: </h3><h3>y=v_{o} *t+\frac{1}{2} *g*t^{2}</h3><h3>y: The vertical distance the ball moves at time t  </h3><h3>v_{o}i: Initial speed </h3><h3>g=Gravity acceleration=9.8*(\frac{\frac{1ft}{0.305m} }{s^{2} } )</h3>

Known information

We know that the vertical distance (y) that the ball moves in 9,5s  is equal to height of Sears Tower (h).  

Too we know that the ball is released from rest, then,v_{0}=0

Height of Sears Tower calculation:

We replace  in the equation 1 the data following;

y=h

v_{o} =0

g=32,1\frac{ft}{s^{2} }

t= 9,5s

h=0*9.5+\frac{1}{2} *32.1*9.5^{2}

h=1448.5 ft

Answer: The height of Sears Tower is 1448.5 ft
