You are participating in the Iditarod, and your sled dogs are pulling you across a frozen lake with a force of 1550 N while a 200 N wind is blowing at you at 150 degrees from your direction of travel. What is the net force (magnitude in newtons and direction in degrees from your direction of travel)? (Give the smallest angle between the direction of travel and the direction of the net force. Assume that you are traveling in the +x-direction and that the wind is blowing from the second quadrant of the xy-plane.)

The answer to the question is

The net force (magnitude in newtons and direction in degrees from your direction of travel) is 1726.104 N ∡ 3.315 ° clockwise or 356.685° counterclockwise from the direction of travel.

Explanation:

The net force is given by

The force of pull by the dogs = 1550 N

Direction of force of pull by the dogs = 0° from the x axis

The force of the wind = 200 N

Direction of wind force = 150 ° from the x axis

Therefore x component of the wind force = 200 cos 30 =173.205 N

y component of the wind force = 200 sin 30 = 100 N

Summing the forces in the x and y direction gives

∑Fx = 1550 +173.205 = 1723.205 N

∑Fy = 100 N

Therefore the resultnt force on the Iditarod competitor is given by

√((∑Fx)²+(∑Fy)²) = √((1723.205)²+(100)²) = 1726.104 N and the direction is

=   =3.315 ° in the x, -y plane

emily ruth's annual premium is $1058.50

step-by-step explanation:

emily ruth is a female of 27 years age purchasing 20 year endowment insurance with face value $25000.

from the given table,

for females, the age of a male 3 years younger should be used.

so, we have to check for 24 year male for 20 year endowment.

it is 42.34 for every $1000 face value.

for a face value of $25000,

it is 25 * 42.34 = $1058.50

∴ emily ruth's annual premium is $1058.50

-first use of geothermal energy occurred more than 10,000 years ago in north america by american paleo-indians

-the first industrial use of geothermal energy began near pisa, italy in late 18th century

-in 1904, italian scientist piero ginori conti invented the first geothermal electric power plant in which steam was used to generate the power

-with the above experiment, the first geothermal plant in usa started in 1922 with a capacity of 250 kilowatts

-however, in 1946 first ground-source geothermal heat pump installed at commonwealth building in portland, oregon

-during the 1960’s, pacific gas and electric began operation of first large scale geothermal power plant in san francisco, producing 11 megawatts

-in 1973, when oil crisis began many countries began looking for renewable energy sources and by 1980’s geothermal heat pumps (ghp) started gaining popularity in order to reduce heating and cooling costs

-as effect of climate change started showing results, governments of various countries joined hands to fight against it, for which kyoto protocol was signed in japan in 1997, laid out emission targets for rich countries and required that they transfer funds and technology to developing countries, 184 countries have ratified it
