- b. While you are on your way coming to lectures you met Mr. Coffie and his wife; Mr. Coffie has a body mass of 100kg, the body mass of Mrs. Coffie is 50kg more. Assuming these two individuals have the same line of application; draw their forces in the following scenarios: 1. Mr. Coffie and Mrs. Coffie are moving in the same direction. ii. Mr. Coffie and Mrs. Coffie are moving in the opposite direction. ii. What steps are you going to use to determine the magnitude of their resultant when they are moving in the same direction? iv. What steps are you going to use to determine the magnitude of their resultant when they are moving in the opposite direction?arrow_forward10 of 31 Listen Study the scenario. A car is moving along a frictionless surface with a speed of 2 m/s to the left. You and your friend each come over and push the car at the same time. You exert a force of 6 N to the left, while your friend exerts a force of 6 N to the right. According to Newton's first law, how will this action affect the car's motion? The car will speed up because your force is in the same direction of the car's motion, making it speed up. The car will stop immediately because two balanced forces will cause an object to stop moving. The car will continue moving to the left but at a slower speed because your friend's force is going to make the car slow down. The car will continue to move 2 m/s to the left because there are balanced forces acting on it.arrow_forwardYou and a friend are on a road trip when your car runs out of gas only 20 meters from a gas station fortunately you're in Montana so the road is perfectly horizontal. You put the car in neutral and apply a horizontal force of 455 N, while your friend applies a horizontal force of 585 N in the same direction. The cars mass is m= 1600kg. The car begins to move, and you push the car to the pump. The car started from rest when you and your friend began pushing. Ignore all friction and air resistance What is the total force applied? what is the work done by your friend over the trip to the gas station? what is the kinetic energy of your car 3 seconds after the start of your trip to the gas station? what was the work done in the first 3 seconds of the trip?arrow_forward
