Three forces in the x-y plane act on a 6.80 kg mass: 10.10 N directed at 19o, 8.60 N directed at 122o, and 9.80 N directed at 21

8o. All angles are measured from the positive x-axis, with positive angles in the Counter-Clockwise direction. Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration.

Answer: a = 1.58 m/s²

Explanation: The mass of the object is 6.80kg.

From newton's second law of motion,

Resultant force = mass * acceleration

So we need to get the resultant force first.

Note all angles are measured from the positive x axis in the counter clockwise direction..

The first force is 10.10 N at an angle of 19° to the positive x axis.

Horizontal component of this force = 19× cos 19° =17.964 N

Vertical component of this force = 19 × sin 19° = 6.186N

The second force is 8.6 N, 122° ( 22° to the positive y axis), due to the angle, the force is between the positive y axis and negative x axis ( 2nd quadrant)

Horizontal component of this force = - 8.6×sin 22 = - 3.22 N

Vertical component of this force = 8.6 × cos 22 = 7.974 N

The third force is 9.8 N, 218° ( 38 degree to the negative axis), due to the angle, the force is placed in between the negative x and negative y axis.

Horizontal component of this force = - 9.8×cos 38 = - 7.722 N

Vertical component of this force = - 9.8 × sin 38 = - 6.033 N

Sum of forces on the x axis (fx) = 17.964 - 3.22 - 7.722 = 7.022 N

Sum of forces on the y axis (fy) = 6.186 + 7.974 - 6.033 = 8.127 N

Resultant force = √(fx) ²+(fy)²

Resultant force = √7.022² + 8.127²

Resultant force = √115.356613

Resultant force = 10.74 N

Recall that resultant force = mass * acceleration

10.74 = 6.8 × a

a = 10.74/6.8

a = 1.58 m/s²

Would you expect to weigh more on an ocean beach or on top of a mountain? Explain.
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

An Ocean beach

Explanation:

a Ocean beach is far heavier than the top of a mountain, despite that a mountain is made with many heavy rocks a Ocean beach may have light sand but the layers of sand and the width would be way heavier then the top of a mountain.

A 1220-w hair dryer is used by several members of the family for a total of 30 min per day during a 30 day month. How much elecr
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Energy = 18.3 Kilowatt-hour

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Power = 1220 Watts

Time = 30 * 30 = 900 minutes to hours = 900/60 = 15 hours

To find the energy consumption;

Power can be defined as the energy required to do work per unit time.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

Power = \frac {Energy}{time}

Making energy the subject of formula, we have;

Energy = power * time

Energy = 1220 * 15

Energy = 18300 Joules

To convert energy to Kilowatt-hour;

Energy = 18300/1000

Energy = 18.3 Kilowatt-hour

Red light of wavelength 633 nm from a helium-neon laser passes through a slit 0.370 mm wide. The diffraction pattern is observed
erica [24]

Answer:

Δx = 6.33 x 10⁻³ m = 6.33 mm

Explanation:

We can use the Young's Double Slit Experiment Formula here:

\Delta x = \frac{\lambda L}{d}\\\\

where,

Δx = distance between consecutive dark fringes = width of central bright fringe = ?

λ = wavelength of light = 633 nm = 6.33 x 10⁻⁷ m

L = distance between screen and slit = 3.7 m

d = slit width = 0.37 mm = 3.7 x 10⁻⁴ m

Therefore,

\Delta x = \frac{(6.33\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m)(3.7\ m)}{3.7\ x \ 10^{-4}\ m}

<u>Δx = 6.33 x 10⁻³ m = 6.33 mm</u>

Well-designed weight-training programs only target two or three body areas.<br> a. True<br> b. False
Sloan [31]
False<span>, well designed weight training programs actually target most of the muscles in the body. A good weight training program includes many compound exercises to activate multiple muscle groups and promote muscle hypertrophy. Some isolation exercises may also be included to target a specific muscle and help it grow.</span>
