First make sure you draw a force diagram. You should have Fn going up, Fg going down, Ff going left and another Fn going diagonally down to the right. The angle of the diagonal Fn (we'll call it Fn2) is 35° and Fn2 itself is 80N. Fn2 can be divided into two forces: Fn2x which is horizontal, and Fn2y which is vertical. Right now we only care about Fn2y.
To solve for Fn2y we use what we're given and some trig. Drawing out the actual force of Fn2 along with Fn2x and Fn2y we can see it makes a right triangle, with 80 as the hypotenuse. We want to solve for Fn2y which is the opposite side, so Sin(35)=y/80. Fn2y= 80sin35 = 45.89N
Next we solve for Fg. To do this we use Fg= 9.8 * m. Mass = 30kg, so Fg = 9.8 * 30 = 294N.
Since the chair isn't moving up or down, we can set our equation equal to zero. The net force equation in the vertical direction will be Fn + Fn2y -Fg = 0. If we plug in what we know, we get Fn + 45.89 -294 = 0. Then solve this algebraically.
Fn +45.89 -294 = 0
Fn +45.89 = 294
Fn = 248.11 N
You'll get a more accurate answer if you don't round Fn2y when solving for it, it would be something along the lines of 45.88611 etc
Sample Response: The technology being described is fiber optics. Since they are small and flexible, they enable doctors to see areas that they might otherwise be unable to see without surgery.
As per the third law of Newton, the force exerted by the boat over the student is equal in magnitude to the force that the student exerted on the boat.
So, calculate the force on the student using the second law of Newton, Force = mass * acceleration.
Force on the student = 60 kg * 2.0 m/s^2 = 120 N.
=> horizontal force exerted by the student on the boat = 120 N
Answer: option d. 120 N. toward the back of the boat.
Of course it is toward the back because that is where the student jumped from..
The historical method includes what steps?
