If two vectors acting simultaneously on a particle are represented in magnitude and direction by the two adjacent sides of a parallelogram drawn from a point, then their resultant is completely represented in magnitude and direction by the diagonal of that parallelogram drawn from that point.
Experiment 3: Equilibrium of Forces Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to get comfortable with vectors and their addiction and subtraction components. We learn the equilibrium of coplanar forces intersecting at a point. We also learned how to balance forces util they are in equilibrium. Data: PART I DATA. Magnitude (grams) Θ (º) Fx (grams ...
Net Force - the resultant vector that is the sum of all forces being applied to an object. Equilibrant Force - one that is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the Net Force. The Equilibrant Force balances the Net Force causing static equilibrium.
Find (a) the resultant force acting on the ball and (b) the magnitude and direction of the resultant force. Strategy The vectors in i ^ i ^ and j ^ j ^ format, which indicate force direction along the x-axis and the y-axis, respectively, are involved, so we apply Newton’s second law in vector form. Solution. We apply Newton’s second law:
Find (a) the resultant force acting on the ball and (b) the magnitude and direction of the resultant force. Strategy. The vectors in ˆi and ˆj format, which indicate force direction along the x-axis and the y-axis, respectively, are involved, so we apply Newton’s second law in vector form.
Forces and Motion. Investigating Newton's second law of motion. Practical Activity for 14-16. Demonstration. A trolley experiences an acceleration when an external force is applied to it. The aim of this datalogging experiment is explore the relationship between the magnitudes of the external force and the resulting acceleration.
Practice Questions. 1. Use the following box diagrams to calculate the overall resultant force, in addition state the direction of the resultant force. 2.A cardboard box is placed onto the floor. Whe box has a weight of 50N and the floor provides a reaction force that is equal in size, but opposite in direction.
