Answer:
- The magnitude of the vector
is 107.76 m
Explanation:
To find the components of the vectors we can use:
where 
is the magnitude of the vector, and θ is the angle over the positive x axis.
The negative x axis is displaced 180 ° over the positive x axis, so, we can take:
Now, we can perform vector addition. Taking two vectors, the vector addition is performed:
So, for our vectors:
To find the magnitude of this vector, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem
And this is the magnitude we are looking for.
Refer to the diagram shown below.
W₁ = (4 kg)*(9.8 m/s²) = 39.2 N
W₂ = (1 kg)*(9.8 m/s²) = 9.8 N
The normal reaction on the 4-kg mass is
N = (39.2 N)*cos(25°) = 35.5273 N
The force acting down the inclined plane due to the weight is
F = (39.2 N)*sin(25°) = 16.5666 N
The net force that accelerates the 4-kg mass at a m/²s down the plane is
F - W₂ = (4 kg)*(a m/s²)
4a = 16.5666 - 9.8
a = 1.6917 m/s²
Answer: 1.69 m/s² (nearest hundredth)
Answer:
10 seconds
Explanation:
x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²
250 = 0 + (0) t + ½ (5) t²
250 = 2.5 t²
t² = 100
t = 10
It takes 10 seconds to land from a height of 250 ft.
