Lola's car is stuck in the mud. Julie and Jamaal come along in a truck to help pull her out. They attach one end of a tow strap to the front of the car and the other end to the truck's trailer hitch, and the truck starts to pull. Meanwhile, Julie and Jamaal get behind the car and push. The truck generates a horizontal force of 387 lb on the car. Julie and Jamaal are pushing at a slight upward angle and generate a force of 122 lb on the car. These forces can be represented by vectors, as shown in the figure below. The angle between these vectors is 21.4°. Find the resultant force (the vector sum), then give its magnitude and its direction angle from the positive x-axis. 122 lb 21.4° 387 lb a. The resultant force is (Tip: omit degree notations from your answers; e.g. enter cos(45) instead of cos(45°)) b. it's magnitude is lb. c. It's angle from the positive x-axis is Hint: For a detailed solution, see the example (Finding Resultant Force) in Section 2.1 (Vectors in the Plane).

Two blocks A and B with mA = 1.1 kg and mB = 0.88 kg are connected by a string of negligible mass. They rest on a frictionless horizontal surface. You pull on block A with a horizontal force of 6.7 N. How will the tension in the string be affected if mA is decreased?
If you push a box across the floor its "physics work" but if you push on the wall it's not. Which of the following choices best explains why? Question 12 options: The direction of the force on the box is not the same direction as the motion. You're applying a force to the box but you are not applying a force to the wall. You're not applying a force to the box but you are applying a force to the wall. The box is moving but the wall is not.
Two blocks of mass m, = 10 kg and mg = 5 kg are connected by a massless string that passes over a pulley as shown in the figure. The system is in static equilibrium. There is friction between m, and the inclined surface (u.-0.4), Neglect the friction between the string and the pulley. Determine the tension in the string. 10 kg 5.0 kg 37 65.35 N () 147.0 N 98.0 N 49.0 N O 52.3 N
A pack of four velociraptors have caught a human running through their jungle. Each raptor grabs one limb and pulls as hard as it can. One raptor exerts a force of 50.0 N at an angle of 20.0 ̊. Another exerts a force of 30.0 N at an angle of 130.0 ̊, while a third exerts a force of 90.0 N at 160.0 ̊. If the meal remains stationary, i.e. the total force is 0, at what angle and with what force is the fourth raptor pulling? Note that force is a vector. Force is measured in units called Newtons which is abbreviated N.

A woman pushes a 10.0 kg box across a horizontal floor with a constant force of magnitude 40.0 N directed at an angle of -25° with respect to the positive x-axis. The box moves horizontally to the right. At the origin (x=0) the box has an initial speed of 4.00 m/s and the woman pushes it to a location ofx=3.00 m. what is the force of the woman? what is the force of gravity? what is the normal force of the floor?
Three blocks are sitting in a row on a frictionless tabale; block 1 has m1 = 10kg, block 2 has m2=20 kg; block 3 has m3 = 30kg; block 1 is on the left , block 2 is in the middle, block 3 is on the right ; a 50-pound push force is applied to block 1 to push all three blocks to the right; this is a contact forces problem; draw the blocks and the force vectors, calculate each force on each block, the net force on each block, and the acceleration of the system
