a constant unit force vector makes 45 degrees with the positive x-axis. find the work done by the force in moving the object 9 units in the direction of the positive x axis
Added by Hayley P.
Step 1
Since the force vector makes 45 degrees with the positive x-axis, we can use trigonometry to find that the x-component of the force is: Fx = F cos(45) = F/sqrt(2) where F is the magnitude of the force. Show more…
