Answer:  

a) the magnitude of r is  184.62

b) the direction is 37.74° south of the negative x-axis

   

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

as illustrated in the image blow;

To find the the magnitude of r, we will use the Pythagoras theorem

r² = y² + x²

r = √( y² + x²)

we substitute

r = √((-113)² + (-146)²)

r = √(12769 + 21316 )

r = √(34085 )

r = 184.62

Therefore, the magnitude of r is  184.62

To find its direction, we need to find ∅

from SOH CAH TOA

tan = opposite / adjacent

tan∅ = -113 / -146

tan∅ = 0.77397

∅ = tan⁻¹( 0.77397 )

∅ = 37.74°

Therefore, the direction is 37.74° south of the negative x-axis

2. Three super strong teenagers pull a heavy crate across the floor. Dion pulls with a force of 18.5 N towards 0°. Shirley pulls
kogti [31]

Answer:

A) The resultant force is 43.4 [N]

B) The movement of the heavy crate is going to the right and in the negative direction on the y-axis

Explanation:

We need to make a sketch of the different forces acting on the heavy crate.

In the attached image we can see the forces and the sum of the vector with their respective angles.

Forces in the X-axis

Fdionx=18.5N\\\\Fshix=16.5*cos(30)=14.29N\\Fjoanx=19.5*cos(60)=9.75N\\\\Forcex= 18.5 + 14.29 + 9.75 = 42.54 N

Forces in the y-axis

FDiony=0[N]\\Fshirley= 16.5*sin(30)=8.25[N]\\Fjoany=19.5*sin(60)=16.88 [N]\\\\Forcesy=0+8.25-16.88= -8.63[N]

Using the Pythagorean theorem

Tforce=\sqrt{(42.54)^{2} +(8.63)^{2} } \\\\Tforce= 43.4N

The movement of the heavy crate is going to the right and in the negative direction on the y-axis, this can be easily seen in the graphical sum of vectors.

what will happen when two wave pulses that are the same size approach one another from opposite directions?
xenn [34]
When two or more waves meet, they interact with each other. The interaction of waves with other waves is called wave interference. Wave interference may occur when two waves that are traveling in opposite directions meet. The two waves pass through each other, and this affects their amplitude.

Answer:  Kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the velocity. If the velocity of an object doubles, the kinetic energy increases by a factor of four. Kinetic energy is proportional to the square

of the velocity. If the velocity of an object

doubles, the kinetic energy increases by a

factor of four.

• Kinetic energy is proportional to the mass. If

a bowling ball and a ping pong ball have the

same velocity, the bowling ball has much

larger kinetic energy.

• Kinetic energy is always positive.

• unit : Joule (J) = kg m

2

/s

2 Example:

If we drop a 3-kg ball from a height of h = 10 m,

the velocity when the ball hits the ground is

given by: v 2 = v0 2 +2a(y− y0 )= 0−2g(0−h)v= 2gh= 2(9.8 m/s 2 )(10 m)=14 m /s Initial:   k = 1 2 mv 2 = 0 Final:    k = 1 2 mv 2= 1 2 (3 kg)(14 m/s) 2= 294 J So as the ball falls, its kinetic energy increases. It is the gravitational force that accelerates the ball, causing the speed to increase. The increase in speed also increases the kinetic energy. The process of a force changing the kinetic energy of an object is called work. Work: Work is the energy transferred to or from an object by mean of a force acting on the object.• energy transferred to an object is positive work, e.g. gravity performs positive work on a

falling ball by transferring energy to the ball, causing the ball to speed up.• energy transferred from an object is negative work, e.g. gravity performs negative work on a ball tossed up by transferring energy from the ball, causing the ball to slow down.• both kinetic energy and work are scalars.• unit: J Work Energy Theorem: The work done is equal to the change in the kinetic energy: ∆K = K f − K i = W In the above example with the ball falling from a height of h = 10 m, the work done by gravity: W = ∆k = k f −k i = 294 J− 0J = 294 J. If a ball rises to a height of h =10 m, the work done by gravity: W = ∆k = k f −k i = 0J−294 J = −294 J. Work Done by a Force: Consider a box being dragged a distance d across a frictionless floor:

d F y x θ v 2 = v0 2 + 2ax (x − x0 ) v 2 = v0 2 +2ax d 1 2 mv 2 = 1 2 mv0 2 +max d 1 2 mv 2 − 1 2 mv0 2 = max d k f −k i = (Fcosθ)d ∴W = (Fcosθ)d• θ is the angle between the force vector and the direction of motion.• If the force is perpendicular to the direction of motion, then the work done: W =(Fcosθ)d = Fdcos90°= Fd×0= 0.• The work energy theorem and the relationship between work and force are valid only if the force does not cause any other form of energy to change, e. g. we can not apply the theorem when friction is

involved because it causes a change in the thermal energy (temperature). Work Done by Multiple Forces: The total work done by many forces acting on an object:Wtot = F1 cosθ 1 d+F2 cosθ 2 d+ F3 cosθ 3 d+L where the angles are the angle between each force and the direction of motion.  The total work is just the sum of individual work from each force:Wtot =W1 +W2 +W3 +L The work energy theorem relates the changes  in the kinetic energy to the total work performed on the object: ∆K =Wtot Example: A 3-kg box initially at rest slides 3 m down a frictionless 30° incline.  What is the work done on the object?  What is the kinetic energy and speed at the bottom?

x y N φ φ mg• The work done is performed by the force in the x direction since there is no motion in the y direction: W = F x d =(mgsinφ)d =(3 kg)(9.8 m/s 2 )(sin30°)(3 m) = 44 J Alternatively, W =(Fcosθ)d = Fcos(90°−φ)d = FsinφdH The first method of using the component of the force in the direction of motion for the calculation is easier.
