Answer:

8 N North.

Explanation:

Given that,

One force has a magnitude of 10 N directed north, and the other force has a magnitude of 2 N directed south.

We need to find the magnitude of net force acting on the object.

Let North is positive and South is negative.

Net force,

F = 10 N +(-2 N)

= 8 N

So, the magnitude of net force on the object is 8 N and it is in North direction (as it is positive). Hence, the correct option is (d) "8N north".

In a thermostat, what property of the bimetallic coil allows it to contract and expand? The two metals absorb different amounts
Reika [66]
Hello!

In a thermostat, the property of the bimetallic coil that allows it to contract and expand is that The two metals absorb different amounts of thermal energy. 

This bimetallic coil is used to transform thermal energy into mechanical movement. Two metals with different thermal expansivity are joined together parallelly and the changes of temperature cause bending in different directions depending on if the temperature is rising or descending. 

The differences in the thermal energy absorption of the two metals are the basis for the mechanism of this device.

driving down the highway , you find yourself behind a heavily loaded tomato truck. you follow close behind the truck keeping the
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

The tomato won't hit the car

Explanation:

According to the statement, the car moves at constant speed behind the truck fully loaded with tomatoes, and in the same direction. When a tomato falls from the top of the truck, it should not hit the car as the tomato falls due to the force of gravity, while horizontally has the same speed and in the same direction as the truck.  So we assume that the tomato will fall to the road without touching the car.

Have a nice day!
