The kittens, Annie and Josie, are pushing a ball, Annie with a force magnitude of 80 N in a direction of 133 degrees, and Josie

with a magnitude of 95 N in a direction of 290 degrees. If a third cat wants to prevent the ball from moving, with what magnitude and direction of force must she push?

Answer: Then the magnitude of the force is 37.86N, and the direction is 54.35°

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write the forces as vectors.

We know that Annie pushes with a magnitude of 80N in a direction of 133° (Remember that the angles are always measured from the x-axis)

The components of this force, (Ax, Ay), are then:

Ax = 80N*cos(133°)

Ay = 80N*sin(133°)

And we know that Josie pushes with a magnitude of 95N in direction of 290°

The components of this force, (Jx, Jy), are:

Jx = 95N*cos(290°)

Jy = 95N*sin(290°)

When we add these forces, the total force acting on the ball is:

F = (80N*cos(133°) ,  80N*sin(133°)) + (95N*cos(290°), 95N*sin(290°))

F = (80N*cos(133°) + 95N*cos(290°), 80N*sin(133°) + 95N*sin(290°))

Now, the third kitten wants to do a force K, in a direction θ, such that the net force acting on the ball is zero.

Then we must have that, each component of the force of the third cat (K*cos(θ)  on the x-axis and k*sin(θ) on the y-axis), is such that:

K*cos(θ) + 80N*cos(133°) + 95N*cos(290°) = 0

k*sin(θ)  + 80N*sin(133°) + 95N*sin(290°) = 0

Now we need to solve that system for k and θ

if we simplify the equations we get:

k*cos(θ) - 22.07N = 0

k*sin(θ)  -30.76N  = 0

Now we can rewrite them as:

k*cos(θ) = 22.07N

k*sin(θ)   = 30.76N  

Now we can take the quotiet between both equations to get:

(k*sin(θ))/(k*cos(θ)) = 30.76N/22.07N

Tan(θ) = 1.394

θ = Atan(1.394) = 54.35°

Now that we know the angle, we can find the value of the magnitude k, by using one of the two equations of the system:

k*cos(54.35°) = 22.07N

k = 22.07N/cos(54.35°) = 37.86N

Then the magnitude of this force is 37.86N, and the direction is 54.35°

If m∠D + m∠E = 180°, then ∠D and ∠E are classified as what kind of angles?
Archy [21]
The other person is literally wrong. The answer is D. Supplementary because two angles that add up to 180 are supplementary angles.
