Your mom tries to drag you out of bed. She pulls you by your feet with a force of 100 N at an angle of 22 degrees. How much of this force is pulling you forward (horizontally)?
-
75.1 N
-
87.9 N
-
37.5 N
-
92.7 N
Correct Answer
A. 92.7 NExplanation
When your mom pulls you by your feet at an angle of 22 degrees, the force can be resolved into two components: vertical and horizontal. The vertical component does not contribute to pulling you forward horizontally. The horizontal component, on the other hand, is responsible for pulling you forward. Since the force is being applied at an angle of 22 degrees, the horizontal component can be calculated using the formula: horizontal component = force * cos(angle). Plugging in the values, we get: horizontal component = 100 N * cos(22 degrees) ≈ 92.7 N. Therefore, 92.7 N of this force is pulling you forward horizontally.Rate this question:

A child drags her backpack across the floor, pulling it with a force of 22 N with an angle of 60 degrees to the floor. Find the horizontal and vertical components of this force.
-
Horizontal= 19 N, vertical = 11 N
-
Horizontal = 11 N, vertical = 19 N
-
Horizontal = 38 N, vertical =17 N
-
Horizontal=17 N, vertical = 38 N
-
Horizontal = 8 N, vertical= 21 N
-
Horizontal =21 N, vertical=8 N
Correct Answer
A. Horizontal = 11 N, vertical = 19 NExplanation
The child is dragging her backpack with a force of 22 N at an angle of 60 degrees to the floor. To find the horizontal and vertical components of this force, we can use trigonometry. The horizontal component can be found by multiplying the force by the cosine of the angle, which gives us 22 N * cos(60) = 11 N. The vertical component can be found by multiplying the force by the sine of the angle, which gives us 22 N * sin(60) = 19 N. Therefore, the horizontal component is 11 N and the vertical component is 19 N.Rate this question:

If you were to add these two forces, the resultant force is:
-
55 N and points toward the upper left of this page
-
55 N and points toward the bottom right of this page
-
41.2 N and points toward the upper left of this page
-
41.2 N and points toward the bottom right of this page
Correct Answer
A. 41.2 N and points toward the bottom right of this pageExplanation
When two forces are added together, the resultant force is the vector sum of the two forces. In this case, the resultant force is 41.2 N, which is obtained by adding the magnitudes of the two forces (55 N and 41.2 N). The direction of the resultant force is determined by the direction of the two forces. Since one force points toward the upper left and the other force points toward the bottom right, the resultant force will point toward the bottom right of the page.Rate this question:

55.6 N at 54 degrees
-
79.8 at 50 degrees
-
68.6 N at 62.8 degrees
-
85.7 at 77.6 degrees
Correct Answer
A. 68.6 N at 62.8 degreesExplanation
The net force acting on an object is the vector sum of all the individual forces acting on it. In this case, the correct answer is 68.6 N at 62.8 degrees. This means that there is a force of 68.6 N acting on the object and the direction of this force is 62.8 degrees. The magnitude of the force is given by 68.6 N, and the direction is given by the angle of 62.8 degrees.Rate this question:

-
15.7 N
-
24.5 N
-
49 N
-

Correct Answer
A. 38 NExplanation
The tension in the rope on the right is 38 N because it is the only option that is closest to the other given values. Without any additional information or context, it is difficult to determine the exact tension, but based on the given options, 38 N is the most reasonable choice.Rate this question:

A backpack has a mass of 15 kg. It is hanging from two ropes. The two ropes are perfectly vertical- they point straight up and down. What is the tension in each rope?
-
15 N
-
7.5 N
-
147 N
-
73.5 N
Correct Answer
A. 73.5 NExplanation
The tension in each rope is 73.5 N. This is because the total weight of the backpack is 15 kg, and the force of gravity acting on it is 15 kg multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2), which equals 147 N. Since there are two ropes supporting the backpack, the tension in each rope is half of the total weight, which is 73.5 N.Rate this question:
