First, we resolve the northeast displacement into its north and east components. The angle from the positive x-axis of a northeast displacement is 45 degrees. Thus:
North = 8.46sin(45) = 5.98 m
East = 8.46cos(45) = 5.98 m
North displacement = 5.98 - 3.6 = 2.38 m
West displacement = 15.6 - 5.98 = 9.62
Magnitude = √(2.38² + 9.62²)
Magnitude = 9.91 m
Direction:
tan∅ = 2.38 / 9.62
∅ = 13.9° north from east
I think the answer is 40cm. If I am wrong please tell me.
The net force of the car <u>is 6000 N.</u>
Why?
To calculate the net force of the car during the given time, we first need to calculate its acceleration, and then, use Newton's Second Law equation to calculate the net force.
We can calculate the acceleration of the car during the given tieme using the following equation:

Substituting the given information, we have:

Now that we have calculated the acceleration, we can calculate the net force:

Hence, we have that the net force is equal to 6000N.
Have a nice day!
To solve this problem, apply the concepts related to Hooke's law. From there we will find the spring constant. Subsequently, applying Energy balance, which includes gravitational potential energy, elastic potential energy and kinetic energy, we will bury the system's energy. Finally, using the displacement expression for the simple harmonic movement, we will find the expression that describes the system.
PART A) The expression for the spring force is

Here,
k = Spring constant
x = Displacement
Rearranging to find the spring constant we have that



PART B ) The gravitational potential energy acts on the spring holds the cart is zero. Since cart is placed in the equilibrium position. The kinetic energy of the cart is zero. Therefore the expression for the total energy is,




PART C) The expression for the angular frequency is



The equation for the motion of the cart is

Replacing,
