Answer:

(a) When the resultant force is pointing along east line, the magnitude and direction of the second force is 280 N East

(b)  When the resultant force is pointing along west line, the magnitude and direction of the second force is 560 N West

Explanation:

Given;

a force vector points due east, F_1 = 140 N

let the second force = F_2

let the resultant of the two vectors = F

(a) When the resultant force is pointing along east line

the second force must be pointing due east

F = F_1 + F_2\\\\F_2 = F - F_1\\\\F_2 = 420 \ N - 140 \ N\\\\F_2 = 280 \ N

F_2 = 280 \ East

(b) When the resultant force is pointing along west line

the second force must be pointing due west and it must have a greater magnitude compared to the first force in order to have a resultant in west line.

F = F_2 - F_1\\\\F_2 = F + F_1\\\\F_2 = 420 \ N + 140 \ N\\\\F_2 = 560 \ N

F_2 = 560 \ West

Triss [41]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

This is the step by step explanation to the above question:

v_i = v [ f_L *(v - v_b) - f_s*(v + v_b)] / [f_L * (v - v_b) + f_s*(v +v_b)]

= v * (83.1 * (v-4.3) - 80.7 ( v+4.3))/ [83.1 *(v - 4.3) + 80.7*(v + 4.3)]

v = 344 m/s

vi = 344 * ( 83.1* (344-4.3) - 80.7*(344+4.3) ) / (83.1 *(344 - 4.3) + 80.7*(344 + 4.3))

= 0.74 m/s

An egg rolls off a kitchen counter and breaks as it hits the floor. The counter is 1.0 m high, the mass of the egg is about 50 g
crimeas [40]
Use equations of motion to find the velocity just before it hits the floor: 
<span>Vf^2 = Vi^2 + 2gx </span>
<span>Final velocity = 4.42m/s </span>

<span>Impulse is change in momentum so: </span>
<span>m(Vf - Vi) = 0.05(0 - 4.42) </span>
<span>= - 0.221 kg.m/s
