let the magnitude of force applied by each worker be "F"

consider east-west direction along X-axis and north-south direction along Y-axis

In unit vector form, force vector by worker pushing in east direction is given as

\underset{A}{\rightarrow} = F \hat{i} + 0  \hat{j}


In unit vector form, force vector by worker pushing in north direction is given as

\underset{B}{\rightarrow} = 0 \hat{i} + F  \hat{j}

resultant force is given as the vector sum of two vector forces as

\underset{R}{\rightarrow} = \underset{A}{\rightarrow} + \underset{B}{\rightarrow}

\underset{R}{\rightarrow} = (F \hat{i} + 0  \hat{j} ) + (0 \hat{i} + F  \hat{j} )

\underset{R}{\rightarrow} = F \hat{i} +  F  \hat{j}

direction of the force is hence given as

θ = tan⁻¹(F/F)

θ =  tan⁻¹(1)

θ = 45 degree north of east

hence the direction is north-east

The driver of a 1000 kg car traveling at a speed of 16.7 m/s applies the brakes. If the brakes provide a force of - 8000 N to st
RSB [31]

Answer:

Given:

m=1000kg

u= 16.7m/s

v=0m/s

F=8000N

Required:

s=?

Solution:

F=m × a

8000N=1000kg × a

a=8m/s^2

Since it decelerate a= -8m/s^2

v^2 = u^2 + 2as

s=v^2 - u^2 / 2a

s= 0 - (16.7m/s)^2 / 2 × -8m/s^2

s= -278.89/-16

s= 17.43m

The car travels approximately 17.43m before it stops

A block of mass 57.1 kg rests on a slope having an angle of elevation of 28.3°. If pushing downhill on the block with a force ju
stira [4]

Answer:

The coefficient is 0.90

Explanation:

Drawing a diagram makes thing easier, we will assume that the acceleration tends to zero because it start barely moving.

-F_s+mg*sin(\theta)+F=0\\F_s=57.1kg*9.8m/s^2*sin(28.3)+177N\\F_s=442N\\F_s=\µ*N\\N=m*g*cos(\theta)\\N=57.1*9.8*cos(28.3)=493N\\\\\µ=\frac{442N}{493N}=0.90

Consider a compact car that is being driven
aliina [53]

Answer:

Height h = 37.8 m

Explanation:

Given :

Velocity of car (v) = 98 km / h

Acceleration of gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Computation:

Acceleration of gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Acceleration of gravity = (98)(1,000 m / 3,600 s)

Acceleration of gravity = 27.22 m/s

By using law of conservation of energy ;

(1/2)mv² = mgh

h = v² / 2g

h = 27.22² / 2(9.8)

Height h = 37.8 m

If we start with 1.000 g of cobalt-60, 0.675 g will remain after 3.00 yr. this means that the of is _____

<span>Cobalt-60 is undergoing a radioactivity decay.

The formula of the decay is n=N(1/2)</span>∧(T/t).
<span>Where N </span>⇒ original mass of cobalt
<span>           n </span>⇒ remaining mass of cobalt after 3 years
          T ⇒ decaying period
           t ⇒ half-life of cobalt.

So,
0.675 = 1 × 0.5∧(3/t)
log 0.675 = log 0.5∧(3/t)
3/t = log 0.675 ÷log 0.5
 3/t= 0.567

t = 3÷0.567
  = 5.290626524

the half-life of Cobalt-60 is 5.29 years.

The blood pressure of human body is greater at the feet than at the brain. why?give reason​
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Gravity stronger closer to the core of the earth

Explanation:

The gravity applied to the feet is stronger than to the upper part of the body for example the brain because of the distance it is between the body part and the core of the earth where the gravity force is pulling towards. Even though the difference between the gravity force between the brain and the feet is minimal it is still a greater force at the feet than at the brain
