Question

A car weighing 12,000 N is parked on a 36° slope.

A) Find the force tending to cause the car to roll down the hill.

B) Find the acceleration of the car rolling down the hill.

Answer 1

Answer:

A resultant is the sum of two (or more) vectors.

2. To add vectors, place the vectors such that the tail of the second vector is placed

at the head of the first vector. Draw a resultant vector from the tail of the first

vector to the head of the second vector. Using the Pythagorean theorem,

calculate the magnitude of the resultant vector. Use geometry or a protractor to

determine the angle of direction of the resultant vector.
