Chapter 2.1, Problem 1aT
Draw a large dot on your large sheet of paper to represent the block. Draw vectors with their “tails” on the dot to show the forces exerted on the block. Label each vector and write a brief description of that force next to the vector.
In Newtonian physics, all forces are considered as arising from an interaction between two objects. Forces are specified by identifying the object on which the force is exerted and the object that is exerting the force. For example, in the situation above, a gravitational force is exerted on the block by the Earth.

Using your graph paper, a protractor, and a centimeter scale, draw arrows to represent the forces F1 and F2 described above. Choose a scale and draw each force vector so that its length is proportional to the magnitude of the force. The direction of each arrow must be the same direction as the force it represents. Using the head-to-tail method, draw an arrow that represents the resultant of the two vectors. (Don’t forget to record the scale you chose.) From the length of the resultant vector R, determine its magnitude according to your scale. Using the protractor, determine the resultant vector’s direction (angle).
Please record your results in the table on the first screenshot.
Using your calculator, determine the x and y components of F1 and F2. Remember that FX = Fcosθ and FY = F sinθ. Find the x and y components of the resultant from the sum of x and y components. Calculate the magnitude of the resultant force from the square root of (R 2 + R 2 ). Calculate the direction of the…
A dancer is standing on one leg on a drawbridge that is about to open. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the drawbridge and the dancer's foot are μs and μk, respectively. n⃗ represents the normal force exerted on the dancer by the bridge, and F⃗g represents the gravitational force exerted on the dancer, as shown in the drawing.(Figure 1). For all the questions, we can assume that the bridge is a perfectly flat surface and lacks the curvature characteristic of most bridges.
Before the drawbridge starts to open, it is perfectly level with the ground. The dancer is standing still on one leg. What is the horizontal component of the friction force f⃗? (Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables n, μs, and/or μk.)
(Figure 2). The drawbridge then starts to rise. The dancer continues to stand on one leg. The drawbridge stops just at the point where the dancer is on the verge of slipping. What is the magnitude f of the frictional force now? (Express…
Tin is helping his mother rearrange the bedroom furniture.

(a) What is the vector sum of these two forces? (b) What is the direction of the resultant force?

- Please answer C and D and please explain how you did it. As seen in the picture, an airboat is a special type of boat that has a large fan mounted on the back instead of a motor that sits in the water. It is used in places where the water is shallow and weedy, so motors that stick down into the water cannot be used. a) Using Newton’s Third Law, explain why the fan needs to be pointed so the air blows out backwards. b) If the force of the fan pushes the air backwards with 150 N, what is the forward force of the air on the boat? If the mass of the boat is 220 kg, and you ignore friction between the boat and the water, find how far the boat will travel in the first minute. c) How can the fan on the airboat be used to change the direction the boat is travelling in?
