Question

Two forces, F_1 and F_2, act on an object M What is the approximate direction of acceleration of object M: North-West, South-East, North-East, South-West, North, South, East, or West? Explain. Answer question (a) if the direction of F_2 is reversed by 180 degrees. Answer question (a) if the directions of both F_1 and F_2 are reversed by 180 degrees. Answer question (a) if the direction of F_1 is turned by pi radians counterclockwise, while the direction of F_2 is turned by pi/2 radians clockwise.

Explanation / Answer

a) north east. whatever the relative magnitudes, the direction will be in that quadrant. the andle would be arctan(F2/F1)

b) north west

c) south-west

d) south

d)
