Question

Interactive Exercises 5.04: Newton's Second Law in Two Dimensions A piece of space equipment is to be observed in a deep-space reference frame, which we assume is an inertial frame. The equipment is initially at rest relative to this frame, and at t = 0, two forces Fi and F2 are applied to the object. Both forces are constant, with Fi acting in the +x direction and F2 acting in the ty direction. The magnitudes of the two forces are: F-1.0 N and Fal- 1.5 N. See the simulation (linked below). Run the animation now. The object's trajectory is a straight line in the xy plane, as shown in the simulation. urni Forces Act on a Piece of Equipment Question 1 Calculate the magnitude and direction of the net force acting on the piece of equipment. Express the direction of the net force as an angle (in degrees) measured counterclockwise from the +x axis.

Answer 1

F_1 = 1N F_2 = 1.5N F_net = squareroot F_1^2 + F_2^2 F_net = squareroot 1^2 + 1.5^2 F_net = 1.803N theta = tan^-1 (F_2/F_1) theta = tan^-1 (1.5) theta = 56.31 degree a_x = F_1/m = 1/m m/s^2 a_y = F_2/m = 1.5/m m/s^2 mass is not given theta rightarrow same as net force theta = 56.31 degree
