In order to find the force (F), you would have to use the formula for it:
F=ma
where m is mass and a is acceleration.
In the problem, the mass is 2.85kg and the acceleration is 4.9m/s^2.
Therefore,
F=2.85kg(4.9m/s^2)
F=13.965kg(m/s^2)
Since N=kg(m/s^2)
F=13.965N
And because the problem requires that we use only 2 significant figures,
F=13N
Therefore, the student must exert 13N of force.

100 points! please help!!!
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

Explanation:

A plane flies due north (90° from east) with a velocity of 100 km/h for 2 hours.

With no wind, it will be 100*2 = 200 km north of its starting point.

But a steady wind blows southeast at 30 km/h at an angle of 315° from due east.

So the wind itself will blow the plane 30*2 = 60km at an angle of 315° from due east.

That is the same as 60*cos315° = 42.43km due east and 60*sin315° = -42.43km north.

Combining, the plane is at 42.43km due east and 200-42.43 = 157.57km due north from its starting point.
