Chapter 3: Q.36 (page 79)

Kami is walking through the airport with her two-wheeled

suitcase. The suitcase handle is tilted 40° from vertical, and

Kami pulls parallel to the handle with a force of 120 N. (Force is

measured in newtons, abbreviated N.) What are the horizontal and

vertical components of her applied force?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Horizontal Component Fy = F x Sin40°= 120 x 0.64 = 76.8 N

Vertical Component Fx = F x Cos40°= 120 x 0.77 = 92.4 N

Step by step solution

01

Given Information:F = 120N∅ = 40° (Force Parallel to Handle)

Fx=F x Sin400= 120 x 0.64 = 76.8N

Fy = F x Cos400 = 120 x 0.77 = 92.4N

I You are fixing the root of your house when a hammer breaks loose and slides down. The roof makes an angle of 35°with the horizontal, and the hammer is moving at 4.5m/swhen it reaches the edge. What are the horizontal and vertical components of the hammer's velocity just as it leaves the roof?

Let, A→=2i^+3j^,B→=2i^-4j^andC→=A→+B→.

a. Write vector C→in component form.

b. Draw a coordinate system and on it show vectors A→,B→andC→.

c. What are the magnitude and direction of vectorC→?

Suppose two vectors have unequal magnitudes. Can their sum be zero? Explain.

A flock of ducks is trying to migrate south for the winter, but they keep being blown off course by a wind blowing from the west at 6.0m/s. A wise elder duck finally realizes that the solution is to fly at an angle to the wind. If the ducks can fly at 8.0m/srelative to the air, what direction should they head in order to move directly south?
