Answer: a boy jumping down
<u>Answer:</u>
<em>Thunderbird is 995.157 meters behind the Mercedes</em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
It is given that all the cars were moving at a speed of 71 m/s when the driver of Thunderbird decided to take a pit stop and slows down for 250 m. She spent 5 seconds in the pit stop.
Here final velocity 
initial velocity
distance
Distance covered in the slowing down phase = 







The car is in the pit stop for 5s 
After restart it accelerates for 350 m to reach the earlier velocity 71 m/s





total time= 
Distance covered by the Mercedes Benz during this time is given by 
Distance covered by the Thunderbird during this time=
Difference between distance covered by the Mercedes and Thunderbird
= 
Thus the Mercedes is 995.157 m ahead of the Thunderbird.
Answer:
F₃ = 122.88 N
θ₃ = 20.63°
Explanation:
First we find the components of F₁:
For x-component:
F₁ₓ = F₁ Cos θ₁
F₁ₓ = (50 N) Cos 60°
F₁ₓ = 25 N
For y-component:
F₁y = F₁ Sin θ₁
F₁y = (50 N) Sin 60°
F₁y = 43.3 N
Now, for F₂. As, F₂ acts along x-axis. Therefore, its y-component will be zero and its x-xomponent will be equal to the magnitude of force itself:
F₂ₓ = F₂ = 90 N
F₂y = 0 N
Now, for the resultant force on ball to be zero, the sum of x-components of the forces and the sum of the y-component of the forces must also be equal to zero:
F₁ₓ + F₂ₓ + F₃ₓ = 0 N
25 N + 90 N + F₃ₓ = 0 N
F₃ₓ = - 115 N
for y-components:
F₁y + F₂y + F₃y = 0 N
43.3 N + 0 N + F₃y = 0 N
F₃y = - 43.3 N
Now, the magnitude of F₃ can be found as:
F₃ = √F₃ₓ² + F₃y²
F₃ = √[(- 115 N)² + (- 43.3 N)²]
<u>F₃ = 122.88 N</u>
and the direction is given as:
θ₃ = tan⁻¹(F₃y/F₃ₓ) = tan⁻¹(-43.3 N/-115 N)
<u>θ₃ = 20.63°</u>
Quantitative because it tells you how many wheels
