A 10.0 kg mass is acted on by the two forces:
and F1=(3.0N)i+(2.0N)j and F2=(10.0N)i+(7N.0)7
a) Express the summation of these two forces in unit vector notation. That is:
b) What is the acceleration of this mass while these forces are acting? Write your answer in unit vector notation.
c) What is the direction of the acceleration (give the angle of acceleration with the x axis)?
9. Consider the falling object of mass 10 kg in Example 2, but
assume now that the drag force is proportional to the square of the
velocity.
a. If the limiting velocity is 49 m/s (the same as in Example 2),
show that the equation of motion can be written as
1 (49² - 1²).

Also see Problem 21 of Section 1.1.
b. If y(0) = 0, find an expression for v(t) at any time.
Gc. Plot your solution from part b and the solution (26) from
Example 2 on the same axes.
d. Based on your plots in part c, compare the effect of a
quadratic drag force with that of a linear drag force.
e. Find the distance x(t) that the object falls in time t.
Nf. Find the time T it takes the object to fall 300 m.
Assume that all quantities are good to 3 significant figures...do not start rounding off too early or too much! All numeric answers should be entered rounded to 3 significant figures and assuming proper SI Units unless otherwise stated.
Consider just these 2 forces acting on a mass of 2.79 kg. F1 = 8.36 N @ 21.5 degrees and F2 = 6.80 N @ 76.7 degrees where the angles are measured relative to the +x direction. What is the magnitude of the acceleration produced considering only these 2 forces acting?
