Answer:

B= -40

The negative sign indicates the reverse direction to that of vector A.That is it is in the third quadrant.

Explanation:

Th resultant vector is obtained by adding the two vectors A and B

A + B= AB

25 + B= -15

25+ 15= -B

-B = 40

B= -40

Vector B has a magnitude of 40 and points in the opposite direction to that of vector A. The negative indicates the opposite direction.

When we reverse the vector B for adding we place a negative sign with the magnitude.

A vector is quantity defined by magnitude and direction. If the direction is left out it becomes a scalar.

What is the force of an object with a mass of 30 kg that is free falling?
disa [49]

Answer:

F = 294.3 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law which tells us that force is equal to the product of mass by acceleration. It is this particular case the acceleration is due to the gravitational acceleration since the body is in free fall.

Therefore we have:

F = m*g

where:

F  = force [N]

m = mass = 30 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s^2]

F = 30*9.81

F = 294.3 [N]

Using hooke's law find the elastic constant of a spring that stretches 2 cm when 4newton force is applied to it
Kay [80]

<u>Answer:</u>

2N/cm

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

According to the Hooke's Law, the force required to extend or compress a spring is directly proportional distance you can stretch it, which is represented as:

F=kx

where, F is the force which is stretching or compressing the spring,

k is the spring constant; and

x is the distance the spring is stretched.

Substituting the given values to find the elastic constant  k to get:

F=kx

4=k(2)

k=\frac{4}{2}

k=2

Therefore, the elastic constant is 2 Newton/cm.
