Answer:
7 m/s
Explanation:
To solve this problem you must use the conservation of energy.
That math speak for, initial kinetic energy plus initial potential energy equals final kinetic energy plus final potential energy.
The initial PE (potential energy) is 0 because it hasn't been raised in the air yet. The final KE (kinetic energy) is 0 because it isn't moving. This gives the following:
K1=U2
Solve for v
Input known values and you get 7 m/s.
- Magnitude: 12.1 N.
- Direction: 17.0° to the 8 N force.
Refer to the diagram attached (created with GeoGebra). Consider the 5 N force in two directions: parallel to the 8 N force and normal to the 8 N force.
.
.
The sum of forces on each direction will be the resultant force on that direction:
- Resultant force parallel to the 8 N force:
.
- Resultant force normal to the 8 N force:
.
Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find the magnitude of the resultant force.
(3 sig. fig.).
The size of the angle between the resultant force and the 8 N force can be found from the tangent value of the angle. Tangent of the angle:
.
Find the size of the angle using inverse tangent:
.
In other words, the resultant force is 17.0° relative to the 8 N force.
