Question

Alexis pulls with 3.0 Newton’s on a toy doll toward east. Brianna pulls on the same toy toward the south with 2.0 Newton’s. Calculate the magnitude of the resultant force on the toy.

Answer 1

Brianna pulls on the same toy toward the south with 2.0 ... Calculate the magnitude of the resultant force on the toy

Answer 2

3.605N

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram attached, the resultant force can be calculated using pythagoras theorem,

R² = F1² + F2²

R² = 3² + 2²

R² = 9 + 4

R² = 13

R = 3.605N

Note: the square root of R was taken
