It can be noted that the directions west and north are perpendicular to each other. hence we can use the right angle formula for calculating total distance in these directions. Also South is just negative north. This technique is called euclidean distance norm. It is the basis of Cartesian coordinate system.
Total distance = 3.22 N + 4.75 W +1.90 S
= 1.32 N + 4.75 W
D =
D = 4.93 Km
direction = atan(N/W) = 15.53 deg north of west
Answer:
Fnet = 14515.2 Newton
Explanation:
Net force can be defined as the vector sum of all the forces acting on a body or an object i.e the sum of all forces acting simultaneously on a body or an object.
Mathematically, net force is given by the formula;
Where;
Given the following data;
Mass = 1,152 kg
Initial velocity, u = 3m/s
Final velocity, v = 17m/s
Time, t = 5 seconds
To find the magnitude of the net force;
First of all, we would determine the acceleration of the car.
Acceleration = (v-u)/t
Acceleration = (17 - 3)/5
Acceleration = 14/5
Acceleration = 2.8m/s
To find the applied force;
Fapp = mass * acceleration
Fapp = 1,152 * 2.8
Fapp = 3225.6 N
Next, we would find the force exerted on the car due to gravity.
Fg = mass * acceleration due to gravity
We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8m/s²
Fg = 1152 * 9.8
Fg = 11289.6N
Substituting the values into the equation, we have;
Fnet = 3225.6 + 11289.6
Fnet = 14515.2 Newton
The volume corresponds to the measure of the space occupied by a body. From the given dimensions we can intuit that we are looking to find the Volume of an Cuboid, that is, an orthogonal rectangular prism, whose faces form straight dihedral angles.
Mathematically the volume of this body is given as
Where,
L = Length
W = Width
H = High
Note: The value given for the height was in centimeters, so it was transformed to meters.
