**Problem Description:**

A 1.20 kg object is subjected to three forces that give it an acceleration \(\vec{a} = (4.80 \, \text{m/s}^2) \hat{\imath} + (5.00 \, \text{m/s}^2) \hat{\jmath}\). If two of the three forces are \(\vec{F}_1 = (28.0 \, \text{N}) \hat{\imath} + (11.0 \, \text{N}) \hat{\jmath}\) and \(\vec{F}_2 = (15.0 \, \text{N}) \hat{\imath} + (8.00 \, \text{N}) \hat{\jmath}\), find (a) the x component and (b) the y component of the third force.

**Explanation of Formulae and Notation:**

- **\(\vec{a}\)**: Represents the acceleration vector of the object, given in unit vector notation.
- **\(\vec{F}_1\) and \(\vec{F}_2\)**: Represent two out of the three forces acting on the object, given in unit vector notation (\(\hat{\imath}\) and \(\hat{\jmath}\) denote the x and y components, respectively).
- **Mass of the object**: 1.20 kg. 

**Steps to Solve:**

1. **Apply Newton's Second Law**: 
   \[
   \sum \vec{F} = m \vec{a}
   \]
   where \(m\) is the mass of the object, and \(\sum \vec{F}\) is the vector sum of all forces acting on the object.

2. **Calculate \(\sum \vec{F}\)**:
   - Using the formula, \(m = 1.20 \, \text{kg}\) and \(\vec{a} = (4.80 \, \text{m/s}^2) \hat{\imath} + (5.00 \, \text{m/s}^2) \hat{\jmath}\).
   \[
   \sum \vec{F} = 1.20 \, \text{kg} \times \left[(4.80 \, \text{m/s

Expert Solution
Step 1

Calculate the total force on the object.

F=maF=(1.20 kg)[(4.80 m/s2)i+(5.00 m/s2)j]F=(5.76 N)i+(6.00 N)j
