Which of the following statements is true about forces. Only one statement will be true.a) The SI unit of force is the kilogram (kg).b) A net force will cause an object to accelerate.c) Gravity is a force, but friction is not a force.d) Objects must be touching to create a force on each other.
Two force vectors are added together. The vectors are as follows.
Vector A is a force of 52 Newton’s at an angle of 62 degrees. This angle is measured up from the horizontal toward the right
Vector B is a force of 120 Newton’s at an angle of 58 degrees. This angle is measured up from the horizontal toward the left.
A. What is the magnitude of the net force? (In Newton’s)?
B.Find the direction (angle) of the net force as measured up from the horizontal?
Newton's 2nd law states that:
Group of answer choices
a. The acceleration of a system always points in the direction of the motion.
b. F_net = m a (in vector form), assuming that the acceleration of the system is a constant.
