In the sum →A+→B=→C, vector →A has a magnitude of 12.0 m and is angled 40.0° counterclockwise from the +x direction, and vector

→C has a magnitude of 15.0 m and is angled 20.0° counterclockwise from the −x direction. What are (a) the magnitude and (b) the angle (relative to +x) of →B?

Answer:

Explanation: Ok, first caracterize the two vectors that we know.

A = ax + ay = (12*cos(40°)*i + 12*sin(40°)*j) m

now, see that C is angled 20° from -x, -x is angled 180° counterclockwise from +x, so C is angled 200° counterclockwise from +x

C = cx + cy = (15*cos(200°)*i + 15*sin(200°)*j) m

where i and j refers to the versors associated to te x axis and the y axis respectively.

in a sum of vectors, we must decompose in components, so: ax + bx  = cx and ay + by = cy. From this two equations we can obtain B.

bx= (15*cos(200°) - 12*cos(40°)) m = -23.288 m

by = (15*sin(200°) - 12*sin(40°)) m = -12.843 m

Now with te value of both components of B, we proceed to see his magnitude an angle relative to +x.

Lets call a to the angle between -x and B, from trigonometry we know that tg(a) = by/bx, that means a = arctg(12.843/23.288) = 28.8°

So the total angle will be 180° + 28.8° = 208.8°.

For the magnitude of B, lets call it B', we can use the angle that we just obtained.

bx = B'*cos(208.8°) so B' = (-23.288 m)/cos(208.8°) =  26.58 m.

So the magnitude of B is 26.58 m.

An object of mass 6.00 kg falls with an aceleration of 8.00 m/s2. The magnitude of air resitance must be ____ N
allsm [11]
Using Newton's Second Law, we can find the air resistance. We know the net force is equal to mass times acceleration.F_{net} = m*a = (6.00kg)(8.00 \frac{m}{s^2}) = 48N &#10;&#10;F_{g} - F_{d} = 48N&#10;&#10;48N = (6.00kg)(9.81m/s^2) - F_{d} &#10;&#10;F_{d} = 10.86N
