- Is the following statement true or false? Explain. The resultant of the weight and the force required to move an object up an inclined plane is a vector perpendicular to the plane. Choose the correct answer below. O A. The statement is false because the resultant will always be a vector that is pointing up from the object on the inclined plane, at a 90° angle to the plane itself. O B. The statement is false because the resultant will always be a vector that is pointing in the opposite direction that the object is moving along the inclined plane, at a 90° angle to the vector representing the force of gravity. OC. The statement is true because the resultant will always be a vector that is pointing down from the object on the inclined plane, at a 90° angle to the plane itself. O D. The statement is true because the resultant will always be a vector that is pointing in the same direction that the object is moving along the inclined plane, at a 90° angle to the vector representing the force…arrow_forwardVector Addition of Nonperpendicular Forces Problem: 1. A force of 40N and a force of 60 N act concurrently on a point P. The 60 n force acts in the direction of due east. The 40 n force acts in the direction 60° north of east. What is the magnitude and direction of their resultant? 2. A 100 N force and a 50 N force act on a point P. The 100 n force acts due north. The 50 N force acts due east.

Note that the direction of Charles' force is not given. What is the magnitude of Betty's force?arrow_forward
- A student's car stalls right in front of a speed bump while she is on her way to physics class. To pull it over the bump, she ties a cable to her bumper and to a nearby tree, and pulls with a force, F, of 81.0 lbs (360 N) at the midpoint in a perpendicular direction.If θ is 11.0°, what is the size of the force pulling the car in lbsarrow_forwardAs you will see in a later chapter, forces are vector quantities, and the total force on an object is the vector sum of all forces acting on it. In the figure below, a force F, of magnitude 6.70 units acts on a crate at the origin in a direction 0 = 26.0° above the positive x-axis. A second force F, of magnitude 5.00 units acts on the crate in the direction of the positive y-axis.

Juan pushes on the armchair with a force of 30.0 N directed at an angle of 25.0 degree above a horizontal line while his mother pushes with a force of 60.0 N directed at an angle of 35.1 degree below the same horizontal. What is the direction of the vector sum of these two forces? If the direction is below the horizontal, enter a negative value and if the direction is above the horizontal, enter a positive value.arrow_forward
