- 14. A cart has a mass of 50 kg. 4 people are pulling on it. One pulls North with a force of 100N. The second pulls East with a force of 200N. A third pulls South with a force of 150N. The final person pulls West with a force of 80N. Find the resultant force. Give its direction in degrees from East.arrow_forward1. Four horses are pulling a wagon down a street in a parade. the front two horses can each pull 1500N (forward) on their reigns, while the back two horses can each pull 1200 N (forward). the force of friction of the wagon wheels on the ground is 550 N (backward). Starting with a free body diagram, calculate the net force on the wagon. 2.

- 1) A force is a push or a pull on an object. We experience forces every day as we lift, push, or carry objects. A force is a vector quantity, which means it has both a magnitude and a direction. In the SI system of units, force is measured in units of newtons, abbreviated N. (One newton is a little less than one-quarter pound.) For example, if you hold an apple in your hand, you exert a force with a magnitude of about 1 newton, directed upward. Forces are vector quantities, which means they have which of the following? a. Magnitude only b. Direction only c. Both magnitude and direction A 20 N force is acts on a rock. From the information given, we know which of these? a. Both the magnitude and direction of the force on the rock b. The magnitude of the force on the rock c. The direction of the force on the rock While kicking a ball, a kicker's foot applies an 80 N force to the ball at an angle of 45 degrees above horizontal.
