Zhao is playing an intense game of tug-of-war with his two dogs, Scott and Luz. They are each pulling a rope, attached to a plastic ring. Consider the forces applied to the plastic ring, as depicted below (note that the diagram is not to scale). The resultant force on the plastic ring is 80N directed due south (in the negative y direction): FR = (0,−80)N. (a) Sketch the vector addition of the three forces F1, F2 and F3, and the resultant force, FR. Your sketch does not need to be to scale, but each force should be clearly labelled, including the angle and magnitude (where given). (b) Express forces F1 and F2 in vector form. (c) Find the magnitude and direction (θ as marked in the diagram) of force F3.
Answer the following questions: One day after school, you are enjoying a soda in the back yard. When the can is empty, you decide to throw it in the trashcan. What effects whether or not it gets in the can? Use Projectile Motion to test your ideas about the things that affect the landing location of a projectile. Make a complete list of things that affect the landing site of a projectile including your ideas from question #1 and any discoveries you made using the simulation. Next to each item, briefly explain why you think the landing location changes. What is meant by the expression "flight path of a projectile"? Draw (or explain) the flight of the soda can. Use the simulation to investigate how the items listed in #2 affect the flight path. Summarize your discoveries including explanations for the different flight paths. Draw a picture of a projectile path and label all the terms that are on the simulation page. Describe why using the simulation is a good…
Workmen are trying to free an SUV stuck in the mud. To extricate the vehicle, they use three horizontal ropes, producing the force vectors shown in the figure.(Figure 1) Take F1 = 937 N, F2 = 793 N, and F3 = 326 NN. Find the x components of each of the three pulls. Express your answers in newtons separated by commas. Find the y components of each of the three pulls. Express your answers in newtons separated by commas. Use the components to find the magnitude of the resultant of the three pulls. Express your answer in newtons to three significant figures. Use the components to find the direction of the resultant of the three pulls. Express your answer in degrees as the angle counted from +x axis in the counterclockwise direction.
