forces, Q5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its suppose to be in physics

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no its M1 in maths

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okkk.. bt i'm solving it anyway

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just wait

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hy r u still there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hello, yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a: the formula for finding magnitude = ma so, u r given the mass u just have to find the acceleration

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do u know how to find acceleration?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well i put -200 - t = 1500a and t-100 = 500a and solved simultaneously

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[a= f/m\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u have to find the resultant force and then divide with the mass resultent force = F1 + F2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did u understand?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wht your answer then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the resultant force thoug? i am getting my signs mixed up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

"thoug"???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do you get the resultant force?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Web definitions A net force, Fnet = F1 + F2 + … (also known as a resultant force) is a vector produced when two or more forces { F1, F2, … } act on a object or situation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, but what is it in this case?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since the q' asks u to find magnitude between the car and the trailer, u have to use both the forces

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if the q' only asked for finding magnitude for only one object... then u use the force for that object

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i need to know the resultant force
