A weightlifter slowly lifts a large amount of weight with a force of 500 N and an acceleration m/s2. What is the amount of weight being lifted in grams?

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Force  = 500N

Acceleration  =

Unknown:

Weight can be used to this problem = ?

Solution:

Weight is the vertical force on a body;

       Weight  = mass x acceleration

So from this we can find the mass and then convert to the second wealth.

see the picture for the vector

the magnitude of the vector by pythagorean theorem

r = √( (-10)^2 + (3)^2 ) = √109

magnitude = √109 units

the direction angle between vector and x-axis is

tan^(-1)(3/10) = 16.699

so the direction is approximately 16.7 degrees north of west
