    How Do You Calculate Work and Angle in Vector Problems?

    so here's my try: i made two triangles...one out of the force vectors and another out of the displacement vectors i found the resultant displacement vector to be 5^2+1^2=26...so 5.1 m i found the resultant force vector by doing 3^2+6^2=45...so 6.7 N if i plug in these numbers into the work...

    How Do You Calculate Work and Angle in Vector Problems?

    Homework Statement PART A: A force ~F = Fx ˆı+Fy ˆ acts on a particle that undergoes a displacement of ~s = sx ˆı + sy ˆ where Fx = 6 N, Fy = −3 N, sx = 5 m, and sy = 1 m. Find the work done by the force on the particle. Answer in units of J. PART B: Find the angle between ~F and...

    How Do You Calculate the Mass of a Star Based on Its Planet's Orbit?

    wait i figured it out...you use v=(gm/r)^(1/2) and substitute in 2(pi)r/T (in seconds) for v...then solve for M the answer i ended up with was 4.187530248*10^30
