1). The little projectile is affected by friction all the way through the block.
Friction robs some kinetic energy.
2). The block is affected by friction as it scrapes along the top of the post.
Friction robs some kinetic energy.
3). The block is also affected by friction with the air (air resistance) as it
falls to the ground. Friction robs some kinetic energy.
The resultant force of both forces is 15.62 N.
<h3 /><h3>What is resultant?</h3>
The Resultant of forces is a single force obtained when two or more forces are combined.
To calculate the resultant of the force, we use the formula below.
Formula:
- R = √[a²+b²-2abcos∅]..................... Equation 1
Where:
- R = Resultant of the forces.
- ∅ = Angle between both forces
From the question,
Given:
Substitute these values into equation 1
- R = √[8²+10²-2×8×10cos120°]
- R = √[64+100-160cos120°]
- R =√ [164-160(-0.5)]
- R = √[164+80]
- R = √(244)
- R = 15.62 N
Hence, the resultant force of both forces is 15.62 N.
