A force, F1, of magnitude 2.0 N and directed due east is exerted on an object. A second force exerted on the object is F2 = 2.0

N, due north. What is the magnitude and direction of a third force, F3, which must be exerted on the object so that the resultant force is zero?

Answer:

Magnitude of the force is

F_3 = 2.83

direction of the force is given as

\theta = 45 degree West of South

Explanation:

As we know that force is a vector quantity and in order to find the resultant of two or more forces we need to add them vectorialy

So here we have

\vec F_1 + \vec F_2 + \vec F_3 = 0

here we know that first force is of magnitude 2 N towards east

\vec F_1 = 2 \hat i N

second force is also of 2.0 N due North

\vec F_2 = 2 \hat j

now from above equation

2\hat i + 2\hat j + \vec F_3 = 0

\vec F_3 = -2\hat i - 2\hat j

so magnitude of the force is given as

F_3 = \sqrt{2^2 + 2^2}

F_3 = 2.83

direction of the force is given as

\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{F_y}{F_x}

\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{-2}{-2}

\theta = 45 degree West of South

Answer:

F₃ is 2.83 N at 45° south of west.

Explanation:

A force, F₁, of magnitude 2.0 N and directed due east is exerted on an object. A second force exerted on the object is F₂ = 2.0 N, due north.

Considering east as positive x direction and north as positive y direction.

F₁ = 2 i

F₂ = 2 j

First let us find the resultant of F₁ and F₂

F_1+F_2=2i+2j

\texttt{Magnitude = }\sqrt{2^2+2^2}=2.83N\\\\\texttt{Direction =}tan^{-1}\frac{2}{2}=45^0

Hence the resultant is 2.83 N at 45° north of east.

For F₃ to cancel the resultant it should be opposite to the direction of the resultant and it should have same magnitude.

So F₃ is 2.83 N at 45° south of west.

Why might we expect venus and earth to be similar?
mina [271]
They have similar distances from the sun therefore receive similar amounts of solar energy but Venus has no atmosphere to protect it so greater variation in temp.
Both are rock planets unlike those further away from the sun which, because of their distance receive less solor energy are cold, are ice planets

What is electrons ? explain it function<br>​
Neko [114]

Answer:

The electron is a subatomic particle, symbol e⁻ or β⁻ , whose electric charge is negative one elementary charge. Electrons belong to the first generation of the lepton particle family, and are generally thought to be elementary particles because they have no known components or substructure

Explanation:

functions of electrons

and electrons being the negatively charged particles of atom. Together, all of the electrons of an atom create a negative charge that balances the positive charge of the protons in the atomic nucleus
