Force Vectors, Resultants and Components Quiz Tips

1.   Range of Possible resultants  ex) 3 N and 10 N 

2.   Could these forces be in equilibrium? 7 N, 10 N, 2 N   Explain.

3.  Two forces of 4 N East and 2 N North act on an object concurrently. Draw the forces Head to Tail AND then draw it Tail to Tail. [ Resultants & Equilibrants  Animation]

a) Draw the resultant and equilibrant for each picture. b) Find the magnitude and direction for the resultant and equilibrant. [ Monster Shoot Out Game ]

4.  Draw the force 15 N 25 degrees S of W.

5.    Resultant = 5 N 20 degrees S of W  Equilibrant = _________________

6.  Draw 50 N 25 degrees S of W          Scale 1 cm = 10 N

7.  a) Draw the horizontal and vertical components for the force above. [ Components Animation ]

b) Use trig to find the magnitude of the horizontal and vertical components.

8. How would you change the angle of a force to increase the horizontal component?  (increase or decrease the angle?)

a) How would you change the angle of a force to increase the vertical component? [ Components Part II Animation ]
