A pack of four Arctic wolves are exerting four different forces upon the carcass of a 500 kg dead polar bear. Wolf one is pullin

g on the bear with a force of 20 Newtons (N) due north. Wolf two is pulling on the bear with a force of 30 N, 30 degrees north of west. Wolf three is pulling on the bear with a force of 25 N due west, and wolf four is pulling on the bear with a force of 35 N, 10 degrees west of south. Determine the net force acting upon the polar bear and the direction of that force measured north of west.

Answer:

Net force is 86.135 N , N 82.255° W

Explanation:

Resolving all forces vertically and horizontally.

First vertically.

20N = 20sin90 = 20

30N = 30sin(90-30)= 30sin60

=25.981

25N = 25sin0 = 0

35N =- 35sin80= -34.368

Total of vertical =

20+25.981+0-34.368

= 11.613N

For horizontal

20N =- 20cos 90 = 0

30N =- 30cos 30 = -25.981

25N = -25cos0 = -25

35N = -35cos 10 = -34.468

Total horizontal = 0-25.981-25-34.368= -85.349

Resultant force = √(11.613)²+(-85.349)²

= √(134.862) +(7284.452)

= √ 7419.314

= 86.135 N

Tan(tita°) = 11.613/-85.349

Tan(tita°) =- 0.136

tita° = Tan^-1(-0.136)

tita° = -7.745

North of West = 90-7.745

= 82.255°

Answer:

F = 58.1N

θ = 10.4° South of East.

Explanation:

Let the situation be as represented in the diagram attached. To determine the net force acting on the bear, we need to resolve the forces into component forms.

Taking west-east as the +x axis and south-north as +y axis.

F1x = 0N (force is directed due north and so has not x component)

F2x = – F2cos30° = –30cos30° = –26N

F3x = – 25N (force is directed due west and so has only x component)

F4x = –F4sin10° = -35sin10° = –6.08N

Fx = F1x + F2x + F3x + F4x =0 – 26 –25 – 6.08 = –57.08N

F1y = 20N (force is directed due north and so has not x component)

F2y = F2sin30° = 30sin30° = 15N

F3y = 0N (force is directed due west and so has only x component)

Fy = –F4cos10° = -35cos10° = –34.5N

Fy = F1y + F2y + F3y + F4y = 20 + 15 + 0 –34.5 = –10.5N

F = √(Fx² + Fy²)

F = √((-57.1² + (-10.5)²) = 58.1N

θ = tan-¹(Fy/Fx) = tan-¹(-10.5/-57.1) = 10.4° South of East.

F = 58.1N

θ = 10.4° South of East.

Hydraulic engineers often use, as a unit of volume of water, the "acre-foot", defined as the volume of water that will cover 1 a
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

Volume = 1,015 acre-feet (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Rain = 1.7 in

Time = 30 min

Area = 29 km²

Find:

Volume in acre-feet

Computation:

1 km = 1,000 m

1 m = 3.28 feet

1 km² = 247.105 acre

d = 1.7 in = 1.7 / 12 = 0.14167 ft

Area = 29 × 247.105 = 7,166.045 acre

Volume = 7,166.045 acre × 0.14167 ft

Volume = 1,015 acre-feet (Approx)

4. How do ordinary objects behave in microgravity?
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Bubbles paused

Explanation:

the air bubble doesn't rise because it is no lighter than the water around it—there's no buoyancy. The droplet doesn't fall from the leaf because there's no force to pull it off. It's stuck there by molecular adhesion.

for instance, onto the International Space Station, gravity becomes negligible, and the laws of physics act differently than here on Earth

On Earth, the buoyancy of the air bubbles causes them to rise to the top together, creating a segregation between air and water. However, in microgravity, nothing forces the air bubbles to interact and thus rise together, Green said.
