Answer:

Vector (ordered pair - rectangular form)

\vec F = (27.189,12.679)\,[lbf]

Vector (ordered pair - polar form)

\vec F = (30\,lbf, 25^{\circ})

Sum of vectorial components (linear combination)

\vec F = 27.189\cdot \hat{i} + 12.679\cdot \hat{j}\,[N]

Step-by-step explanation:

From statement we know that force exerted on the wagon has a magnitude of 30 pounds-force and an angle of 25° above the horizontal, which corresponds to the +x semiaxis, whereas the vertical is represented by the +y semiaxis.

The force (\vec F), in pounds-force, can be modelled in two forms:

Vector (ordered pair - rectangular form)

\vec F =  \left(\|\vec F\|\cdot \cos \theta, \|\vec F\|\cdot \sin \theta\right) (1)

Vector (ordered pair - polar form)

\vec F = \left(\|\vec F\|, \theta\right)

Sum of vectorial components (linear combination)

\vec {F} = \left(\|\vec F\|\cdot \cos \theta\right)\cdot \hat{i} + \left(\|\vec F\|\cdot \sin \theta \right)\cdot \hat{j} (2)

Where:

\|\vec F\| - Norm of the vector force, in newtons.

\theta - Direction of the vector force with regard to the horizontal, in sexagesimal degrees.

\hat{i}, \hat{j} - Orthogonal axes, no unit.

If we know that \|\vec F\| = 30\,lbf and \theta = 25^{\circ}, then the force exerted on the wagon is:

Vector (ordered pair - rectangular form)

\vec F= \left(30\cdot \cos 25^{\circ}, 30\cdot \sin 25^{\circ}\right)\,[lbf]

\vec F = (27.189,12.679)\,[lbf]

Vector (ordered pair - polar form)

\vec F = (30\,lbf, 25^{\circ})

Sum of vectorial components (linear combination)

\vec F = (30\cdot \cos 25^{\circ})\cdot \hat{i} + (30\cdot \sin 25^{\circ})\cdot \hat{j}\,[N]

\vec F = 27.189\cdot \hat{i} + 12.679\cdot \hat{j}\,[N]

F(x) = -5x +8(7-x) find x such that f(x) =160
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = -5x + 8(7 - x)......when f(x) = 160

160 = -5x + 8(7 - x)

160 = -5x + 56 - 8x

160 - 56 = -5x - 8x

104 = - 13x

-104/13 = x

-8 = x <====

Determine the slope of the line that has the following coordinates: (1, 4)(2, -6)
timama [110]

Answer:

-10

Step-by-step explanation:

First use this equation: (y2 - y1) / (x2 -x1)

The y intercept is 14 so the slope is -10.
