A duck has a mass of 2.40 kg. As the duck paddles, a force of 0.150 N acts on it in a direction due east. In addition, the current of the water exerts a force of 0.160 N in a direction of 45.0° south of east. When these forces begin to act, the velocity of the duck is 0.150 m/s in a direction due east. Find (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction (relative to due east) of the displacement that the duck undergoes in 2.80 s while the forces are acting. (Note that the angle will be negative in the south of east direction.)

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of duck=2.40 kg

[tex]F_1[/tex]=0.150 N

[tex]F_2[/tex]=0.160 N in a direction south of east

Net force in x- direction

[tex]F_x=0.150+0.160\cos 45=0.263 N[/tex]

[tex]a_x=\frac{0.263}{2.4}=0.109 N[/tex]

net force in Y direction

[tex]F_y=0.160\times \sin 45=0.113 N[/tex]

[tex]a_y=\frac{0.113}{2.4}=0.047 m/s^2[/tex]

Thus displacement in x direction

[tex]x=ut+\frac{at^2}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x=0.15\times 2.8+\frac{0.109\times 2.8^2}{2}=0.847 m[/tex]

Displacement in Y direction

[tex]Y=ut+\frac{at^2}{2}[/tex]

here u=0

[tex]Y=0+\frac{0.047\times 2.8^2}{2}=0.184 m[/tex]

net displacement [tex]\sqrt{0.847^2+0.184^2}=\sqrt{0.7513}[/tex]

=0.866 m

Direction of displacement

[tex]tan\theta =\frac{0.184}{0.847}[/tex]

[tex]\theta =12.25^{\circ}[/tex] south of east

[tex]\theta =-12.25^{\circ}[/tex]
