21. Draw an arrow to show the direction of motion of the Pacific Plate (subducting under the Indian Australian Plate)

4. You move 26m at an angle of 40.0º W of S. (a) How far south of your starting point are you? (b) How far west are you?

For a boat with a displacement of d pounds and a sail area of A square feet S is determined by the function S = 16Ad-2/3. a) Find S to the nearest tenth for the Tartan 4100, which has a sail area of 810 square feet and a displacement of 23,245 pounds. b) Write d in terms of A and S .

24. Mobilee Oil Company accepted a $10,000, 120-day note, dated March 3, at 8.5% to settle a past due accounts receivable. Mobilee Oil discount the note to raise cash on May 10 at a discounted rate of 9%. What proceeds did Mobilee Oil receive?

5. Record the effort force shown on the Newton Scale in newtons while pulling the cart up the inclined plane.

First, we will set up the force table. The table comes in three separate pieces the base, stand and table once we connect and fasten all three parts we must use a circular level to make sure the table is balanced. If the force table isn’t balanced then we must adjust the base’s feet to the appropriate levels on each leg till the bubble on the level is centered. We must then assign where the positive & negative x, y axis are on the force table as a point of reference and label them with tape .Then for part I we must apply 1.96 N in the positive x – direction, and 2.94 N in the positive y-direction then we must balance the two with a third force and record the magnitude and direction of it and a draw a diagram showing all three forces. Part II

3. Set up the ramp so that the highest point of the ramp is 10 cm above the top

top of the boat, the triangular sails have to be angled in a slightly more forward direction

43. A stone is shown at rest on the ground. A. the vector shows the weight of the stone. complete the vector diagram showing another vector that results in zero net force on the stone. B. what is the conventional name of the vector you have drawn?

A light ray enters a rectangular block of plastic at an angle θ1 = 45.0◦ and emerges at an angle θ2 = 76.0◦ as shown. (a) Determine the index of refraction of the

Theory For a body to be in static equilibrium, two conditions have to be met:

What is the question asking you to identify? This question is asking to clearly identify centripetal force.

you approach a railroad crossing. You should not pass a car that is going your direction at the

The magnitude of the forces exerted in the horizontal and vertical directions can be calculated using trigonometry. The total magnitude of the force multiplied by the cosine of its angle with the horizon will calculate the horizontal force. Conversely, the total magnitude of the force multiplied by the sine of its angle with the horizon will calculate the vertical force.

The forces that are involve with the experiments are basically focused on the concurrent forces. The experiment also allows us to develop the condition of balancing or arranging the angles both sides on a force table. This laboratory experiment allows us to take the mathematical abstraction of a vector to make it tangible as possible. This experiment will look into two ways of
