    Truck and Man Forces in Boat Tension Calculations

    the y forces equal zero because nothing is acting upon the boat in either the y or -y way. and to be honest the only reason i said EFx is equal to zero is because I was setting the equation equal to zero. as habit. I'm not sure why the X forces would equal zero. And the accellaration of the...

    Truck and Man Forces in Boat Tension Calculations

    does it mean there is no net force. so does that mean it would be zero?

    Truck and Man Forces in Boat Tension Calculations

    I don't know how to draw on here but here are my calculations EFy=0=860sin22-Psin75 0=322.16-.966P -322.16=-.966P T=333.53N EFx=0=860cos22+333.53cos75 797.38+86.32 Fr=883.7 Then i did pythagorean theorom to add the two vectors. Sorr i misprinted my answer for C 883.7^2+333.53^2...

    Truck and Man Forces in Boat Tension Calculations

    Homework Statement A Pickup truck pulla a boat down a creek witha constant force of 860 N. A man helps steer the boatby pulling a rope from the opposite side of the creek. The man and the truck exert just enough force to keep the boat moving at a constant speed in the center of the creek. The...

    Calculating the Value of g on Earth's Surface

    So you are saying it doesn't matter which formula I use, because they both answer the same question. so it would be Fg= (5.98x10^24)((6.67x10^-11)=3.99x10^14

    Calculating the Value of g on Earth's Surface

    Homework Statement What is the value of g on the surface of the Earth in Newtons? Homework Equations Fg=G M1M2/R^2 SumF=ma I'm not sure which formula to use? The Attempt at a Solution i think its (9.80m/s^2)(5.98x10^24)= 5.8604e25 (what does the e on my calculator mean, is this...

    How Do You Calculate Acceleration and Distance in One Dimensional Motion?

    I'm sorry, what do you mean. 40 mi/h x 1h/60min x 1min/60 sec x 1609m/ 1 mi = 17.87777778 m/s but since there is only one sig fig i rounded it up to twnety. is that not how i should have gone about converting it?
