A force vector points due east and has a magnitude of 140 newtons. A second force is added to . The resultant of the two vectors
1 answer:
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, = 140 N
let the second force =
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
(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.

Answer:
Fnet - Fg
Explanation:
When an object is in an elevator, its weight varies with respect to the direction of movement of the elevator and the elevators acceleration.
The weight, W, of an object can be expressed as;
W = mg
where m is the object's mass, and g is the acceleration due gravity.
If the object is in an elevator that speed up, an apparent weight would be felt since both mass and elevator are moving against gravitational pull of the earth.
So that,
= mg + ma
where: mg is the weight of the object, and ma is the apparent weight.
Apparent weight (ma) = - mg
