Find the resultant force And angle

Physics
1 answer:
Oksanka [162]3 years ago
5 0

The first force has magnitude 60 N and makes an angle of -30° relative to the positive horizontal axis (i.e. to the immediate right), while the second force has magnitude 150 N and direction +30° from the horizontal.

In component form, we have

\vec F_1 = F_{1,x}\,\vec\imath + F_{1,y}\,\vec\jmath \\\\ \vec F_1 = (60\,\mathrm N)\cos(-30^\circ)\,\vec\imath + (60 \,\mathrm N)\sin(-30^\circ)\,\vec\jmath \\\\ \vec F_1 \approx (52.0\,\mathrm N)\,\vec\imath - (30\,\mathrm N)\,\vec\jmath

\vec F_2 = F_{2,x}\,\vec\imath + F_{2,y}\,\vec\jmath \\\\ \vec F_2 = (150\,\mathrm N)\cos(30^\circ)\,\vec\imath + (150\,\mathrm N)\sin(30^\circ)\,\vec\jmath \\\\ \vec F_2 \approx (130\,\mathrm N)\,\vec\imath + (75\,\mathrm N)\,\vec\jmath

The resultant force is the vector

\vec F = \vec F_1 + \vec F_2 \\\\ \vec F \approx (182\,\mathrm N)\,\vec\imath + (45\,\mathrm N)\,\vec\jmath

Its magnitude is

R = \|\vec F\| \\\\ R \approx \sqrt{(182\,\mathrm N)^2 + (45\,\mathrm N)^2} \\\\ R = 187.35\,\mathrm N \approx \boxed{190\,\mathrm N}

Its direction \theta is such that

\tan(\theta) \approx \dfrac{45\,\mathrm N}{182\,\mathrm N}

Because the components of the resultant force are both positive, that means the angle \vec F makes with the horizontal is between 0° and 90°. So

\theta \approx \tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac{45\,\mathrm N}{182\,\mathrm N}\right) \approx \boxed{14^\circ}

Some cities now implement signal lights designed to specifically apply to _____ rather than motorized vehicles.
dmitriy555 [2]

The correct answer is C; Bicycles.

Further Explanation:

In major cities, in the United States, have implemented signal lights specifically designed for bicycle riders. The riders also have their own designated bike lanes in many large cities. Drivers in vehicles, are to give the right of way to people on bicycles.

Bicycle riders are to follow the same laws and laws specifically for the riders or they can face fines and tickets.
