Question

In the figure below, the mass the body is 10.0 kg, and F1=30.0 N, F2 = 20.0 N and F3 = 50.0 N. The angles θ= 32o and θ= 41o.

If the mass was initially at rest, which direction will it start moving? What is the direction of the net force?

If the mass is initially moving along the positive y-axis, what is the effect of the acceleration on its speed and direction?

The diagram illustrates a system involving three forces acting on a mass \( m \) positioned at the origin of a coordinate plane.

- **Forces and Directions:**
  - \( \vec{F}_1 \) is a force vector pointing at an angle \( \theta_1 \) above the positive x-axis.
  - \( \vec{F}_2 \) is a force vector pointing downward and to the right, forming an angle \( \theta_2 \) with the negative y-axis.
  - \( \vec{F}_3 \) is a force vector pointing horizontally to the left along the negative x-axis.

- **Coordinate Axes:**
  - The x-axis is oriented horizontally.
  - The y-axis is oriented vertically.

- **Angles:**
  - \( \theta_1 \) is the angle between \( \vec{F}_1 \) and the positive x-axis.
  - \( \theta_2 \) is the angle between \( \vec{F}_2 \) and its vertical component.

This diagram is useful for analyzing the resultant force on the object by resolving each force vector into its components and applying vector addition principles.
