Three men are pulling on a tree attached with ropes to keep it from falling down. If one man is pulling the rope with a force of

370N acting at 30 degrees east of north and the second man is pulling with a force of 280N acting at 70 degrees west of south. What force should the third man pull with and in what direction? PLEASE HELP AND EXPLAIN THANK YOU SO MUCH

The correct answer to this question is <span>48.8N</span><span> on a bearing of </span><span>134.2 degrees.

In order to solve this, first we need to find the resultant force of the men pulling in the north and south directions:

F = 40 - 6 = 34N [due south - 180]

Then, find the resultant force.

R^2 =34^2 + 35^2 
R^2 = 2381
R = sqrt(2381)
R = 44.8N

The angle from the vertical is given by:
tan(x) = 35/34
tan(x) = 1.0294
angle = 45.8 degrees

Taking N as zero degrees, then it bears 134.2 degrees.

When landing from a jump, a basketball player of mass 82 kg has a velocity of 1.2 m/s right before they hit the ground. The play
saw5 [17]

Answer:

2361.6N

Explanation:

Mass of player = 82kg

Velocity = 1.2m/s

Kinetic energy of player:

= 1/2mv²

= 1/2*82*1.2²

= 41x1.44

= 59.04J

Final kinetic energy = 0

Change in kinetic energy

|∆k| = |0-59.04|

= 59.04

Workdone by the feet = fd

d = 0.025

Fd = 59.04

F = 59.04/0.025

= 2361.6N

This is his average force.

Which of the following statements apply to electric charges?
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

The statement "If a positively charged rod is brought close to a positively charged object, the two objects will repel " applies to electric charges.

Explanation:

There are only two types of electric charges. Both having own magnitude but different charge.

1. Positive charge

2. Negative charge

Like charges repel each other and opposite charges always attract each other.

When a positively charged rod is brought close to a positively charged object, the rod and the object will repel.

A spring with spring constant of 34 N/m is stretched 0.12 m from its equilibrium position. How much work must be done to stretch
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:0.253Joules

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the force required to stretch the string. According to Hooke's law, the force applied to an elastic material or string is directly proportional to its extension.

F = ke where;

F is the force

k is spring constant = 34N/m

e is the extension = 0.12m

F = 34× 0.12 = 4.08N

To get work done,

Work is said to be done if the force applied to an object cause the body to move a distance from its initial position.

Work done = Force × Distance

Since F = 4.08m, distance = 0.062m

Work done = 4.08 × 0.062

Work done = 0.253Joules

Therefore, work done to stretch the string to an additional 0.062 m distance is 0.253Joules
