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.

At the equator, the earth spins a distance of
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

About 1080 miles per hour

Explanation:

If the earth spins 25,922 miles everyday (24 hours) then is would spin about 1080 miles per hour.

25 922 miles / 24

24 divided by 24 to get 1 ( 1 hour)

*if we divided 24 by 24 then we do the same to 25 922 (to make it equivalent)

25 922 divided by 24 = 1080.083333333333.

So, 1080 mph or 1080 miles / 1 hour

I hope this helped :)

a train is moving 35m/s to the east. it speeds up to 42 m/s east over the course of 40 seconds. what is the trains acceleration?
lianna [129]

Answer:

0.175 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 35 m/s

v = 42 m/s

t = 40 s

Find: a

v = at + v₀

42 m/s = a (40 s) + 35 m/s

a = 0.175 m/s²
