Answer:

28 N

Explanation:

From the question given above, we were told that 10 N force and 18 N force act in the same direction on the object.

The net force acting on the object can be obtained by simply adding both forces together since they both act on the object in the same direction. This is illustrated below:

Force 1 (F₁) = 10 N

Force 2 (F₂) = 18 N

Net force (Fₙ) =?

Fₙ = F₁ + F₂ (since they both act in the same direction)

Fₙ = 10 + 18

Fₙ = 28 N

Therefore, the net force acting on the object is 28 N.

If vector A =i+2j-k and vec A cross vec B =3i-j+5k. find vec B

postnew [5]

Let B = a i + b j + c k. Then the cross product of A = i + 2j - k with B is

A × B = ( i + 2j - k ) × ( a i + b j + c k )

A × B = a ( i × i ) + 2a ( j × i ) - a ( k × i )

… … … + b ( i × j ) + 2b ( j × j ) - b ( k × j )

… … … + c ( i × k ) + 2c ( j × k ) - c ( k × k )

A × B = 0 - 2a k - a j

… … … + b k + 0 + b i

… … … - c j + 2c i - 0

A × B = (b + 2c) i + (-a - c) j + (b - 2a) k

So we have

3 i - j + 5 k = (b + 2c) i + (c - a) j + (b - 2a) k

which gives us the system of equations,

{ b + 2c = 3

{ -a - c = -1

{ -2a + b = 5

Solve for a, b, and c.

• Eliminate c from the first two equations:

(b + 2c) + 2 (-a - c) = 3 + 2 (-1)

-2a + b = 1

But -2a + b = 5, and 5 ≠ 1, so there is no such vector B that satisfies the cross product!

Imagine holding a basketball in both hands, throwing it straight up as high as you can, and then catching it when it falls. At w

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

C. At the instant the ball reaches its highest point.

Explanation:

When a body is thrown up, it tends to come down due to the influence of gravitational force acting on the body. The body will be momentarily at rest at its maximum point before falling. At this maximum point, the velocity of the body is zero and since force acting on a body is product of the mass and its acceleration, the force acting on the body at that point will be "zero"

Remember, F = ma = m(v/t)

Since v = 0 at maximum height

F = m(0/t)

F = 0N

This shows that the force acting on the body is zero at the maximum height.
