Why is the sum of forces/net force less than the applied force? Think about the direction of the forces in your answer
1 answer:
Answer:
he same direction the magnitude of the resultant is equal to the scalar sum of the magnitude of the forces, but if they are applied in different directions the magnitude must be found using the Pythagorean theorem
Explanation:
When there are several applied forces, if they are all in the same direction the magnitude of the resultant is equal to the scalar sum of the magnitude of the forces, but if they are applied in different directions the magnitude must be found using the Pythagorean theorem, so which the resulting dowry is less than the sum of the magnitudes.
Let's carry out an example with two forces, F1 and F2 of equal magnitudes
if they are in the same direction
F_total = F₁ + F₂ = 2 F
if they are at 90º
F_total =
if they are at 180º
F_total = F₁ -F₂ = 0

Answer:
I = 0.11 A
Explanation:
- In an electric circuit, the power delivered to a load, is just the product of the potential difference between the load terminals, times the current flowing through it, as follows:
- In this case, the power is the one consumed by the cell phone = 390 mW, and the voltage the one produced by the internal energy of the battery, 3.5 V, neglecting the voltage loss at the internal resistance of the battery.
- So, we can solve the above equation for the current I, as follows:
- The current flowing through the cell-phone circuitry is 0.11 A.
