How do you calculate the net force when there are multiple forces in different directions?​

To find F_{net} we need to use vector addition and use the x and y components. First we subtract vector 2 from vector 5 which results in a vector with a  length of 3 pointing directly east, then we use the distance formula to find the length of the net force F_{net} = \sqrt{(3)^2+(4)^2} \\  which gives F_{net} = 5. We now have a magnitude but we also need a direction, since vector 4 and vector 5 are perpendicular. Using \theta = \tan^{-1} (\frac{4}{3})   where tan^-1(y/x) we get an angle of 53 degrees. The resultant force vector is 5 distance with an angle of 53 degrees north east.

A heater has a resistance of 10.0 Ω. It operates on a 12.0 V. What is the current through the resistor?
irakobra [83]

Answer:

1.2 amps :)

Explanation:

A heater has a resistance of 10.0 Ω. It operates on a 12.0 V. What is the current through the resistor?

         Known:

  • R = 10.0 Ω                            
  • V = 12.0 V

       Unknown:

  • I = ???

I = V/R

= 12.0 V / 10.0 Ω

= 1.2 amps

Question 2 (10 points)
kenny6666 [7]

The force required to slow the truck was -5020 N

Explanation:

First of all, we find the acceleration of the truck, which is given by

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

For the truck in this problem,

v = 11.5 m/s

u = 21.9 m/s

t = 2.88 s

So the acceleration is

a=\frac{11.5-21.9}{2.88}=-3.6 m/s^2

where the negative sign means that this is a deceleration.

Now we can find the force exerted on the truck, which is given by Newton's second law:

F=ma

where

m = 1390 kg is the mass of the truck

a=-3.6 m/s^2 is the acceleration

And substituting,

F=(1390)(-3.6)=-5004 N

So the closest answer among the option is -5020 N.

A world-class sprinter can burst out of the blocks to essentially top speed (of about 11.5 m/s) in the first 15.0 m of the race.
wolverine [178]
Given:
u = 0, initial speed (sprinter starts from rest)
v = 11.5 m/s, final speed
s = 15 m, distance traveled to attain final speed.

Let
a =  average acceleration,
t = time taken to attain final speed.

Then
v² = u² + 2as
or
(11.5 m/s)² = 2*(a m/s²)*(15 m)
a = 11.5²/(2*15) = 4.408 m/s²

Also
v = u +a t
or
(11.5 m/s) = (4.408 m/s²)*(t s)
t = 11.5/4.408 = 2.609 s

Answer:
The average acceleration is 4.41 m/s² (nearest hundredth).
The time required is 2.61 s (nearest hundredth).
