- The town of Calculusville is 95 m above sea level and the town of Vectorville is 178 m above sea level. The two towns are 4.8 km apart along a straight, smooth road. A family decides to move from Calculusville to Vectorville. They pack all their belongings in a trailer hitched to their SUV. The SUV pulls the trailer up the road using a force, in newtons, defined by the vector F = [25 000, 14 000]. a) Find the force drawing the trailer up the hill and the force, perpendicular to the hill, tending to lift it. b) What is the work done by the SUV in pulling the trailer up the hill? What is the work done in raising the altitude of the trailer? d) Explain why your answers to parts b) and c) are different.arrow_forwardA force F1 of magnitude 4.80 units acts at the origin in a direction 50.0° above the positive x axis. A second force F2 of magnitude 5.00 units acts at the origin in the direction of the positive y axis. Find graphically the magnitude and direction of the resultant force F1 + F2. Find magnitude Find directionarrow_forwardYou hopefully used g=9.8 m/s2 (or thereabouts). That is the gravitational acceleration near the earth's surface. if you rise high above the earth, the gravitational acceleration decreases. Specifically, the gravitational acceleration is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the earth's center. Equivalently, if you multiply the acceleration by the distance from the earth's center, you should get the same number for all heights. For this problem, take the radius of the earth as 3,902 miles, and calculate the gravitational acceleration of a satellite in low orbit, 182 miles above the surface.arrow_forward

One pushes on the crate with a force A, which has a magnitude of 480 newtons and is directed due west. The other pushes with a force B, which has a magnitude of 325 newtons and is directed due north. What is the magnitude of the resultant force A + B applied to the crate? Specify your answer up to one decimal place. Do not include units.arrow_forwardOften a vector is specified by a magnitude and a direction; for example, a rope with tension T exerts a force of magnitude T = 20 N in a direction 35° north of east. This is a good way to think of vectors; however, to calculate results with vectors, it is best to select a coordinate system and manipulate the components of the vectors in that coordinate system.
