Answer:

<em>Fx = 121.24lb</em>

<em>F = 140lb</em>

Explanation:

Since we are not given the angles subtended by the force, we can assume it to be 30 degrees.

The y component of the force expressed by the formula:

Fy = Fsintheta

Given the y-component of the force F to bee 70lb

70lb =  Fsintheta

Get magnitude of the force

F = 70/sin theta

F = 70/sin 30

F = 70/0.5

F = 140lb

Get the x-component of the force

Fx = Fcos theta

Fx = 140cos 30

Fx = 140(0.8660)

Fx = 1,212.4lb

<em>Hence the  x-component of the force sis 121.24lb</em>

<em></em>

<em>Note that the angle used was assumed. Other values can as well be used</em>

Amanda [17]
Find the number of hours by dividing the distance by mph. The number of hours will be to the left of the decimal point:

250 miles / 65 mph
= 3.846153846
= 3 hours

2) Find the number of minutes by multiplying what is remaining from step 1 by 60 minutes. The minutes will be to the left of the decimal point:

0.846153846 x 60
= 50.76923076
= 50 minutes

3) Find the number of seconds by multiplying what is remaining from step 2 by 60 seconds. The seconds will be to the left of the decimal point:

0.76923076 x 60
= 46.1538456
= 46 seconds

So 3 hours 50 mins and 46 seconds

Which of these boxes will not accelerate? A. B. C. D.
serg [7]

Answer: The correct answer is Image B.

Explanation: For an object to accelerate, there should be unbalanced forces present. An object will move in the direction of net force.

Balanced forces are defined as the forces acting on the same object which are equal in magnitude but act in opposite direction. The net forces are 0.

Unbalanced forces are defined as the forces acting on the same object which are unequal in magnitude. The net force is non-zero.

For the given images:

Image A: This box will accelerate easily because the net force is non-zero and is moving in right direction.

Image B: This box will not accelerate because the net force is zero as all the forces are balancing one another. Hence, the object will stay at rest.

Image C: This box will accelerate easily because the net force is non-zero and  is acting in between the normal and applied force.

Image D: This box will accelerate easily because the net force is non-zero and is moving in right direction.

Hence, the correct option is Image B.
