Two forces P and Q act on an object of mass 7.00 kg with Q being the larger of the two forces. When both forces are directed to the left, the magnitude of the acceleration of the object is 1.40 m/s2. However, when the force P is directed to the left and the force Q is directed to the right, the object has an acceleration of 0.700 m/s2 to the right. Find the magnitudes of the two forces P and Q .

Explanation:

Q is larger than P . When two forces act in the same direction , Resultant force  

can be calculated by adding them up . When two forces act in the opposite  direction , Resultant force  can be calculated by subtracting  them .

Force = mass x acceleration .

In the first case

Resultant force = mass x acceleration

P + Q = 7 x 1.4 = 9.8 N

In the second case

Q - P = 7 x 0.7 = 4.9

Adding up these two equations

2 Q = 14.7

Q = 7.35 N

P = 9.8 - 7.35 = 2.45 N .

the minimum amperage that the current in this wire would have to have so that its weight is completely supported by the magnetic force due to earth's field, assuming that no other forces except gravity act on it

we're given that v₀ = 0 and a = 5.4 m/s². therefore, since v = at + v₀ for constant acceleration the equation for velocity is

after 28s,

m/s

which i would round to 150 m/s as my final answer
