Questions 1. If a car is driving northbound and a wind is pushing it directly to the east, will the cars northbound speed change? Why or why not? 2. If an object is being subjected to two forces in the positive y direction of 25N each, and a force in the positive x-y direction of 50N at an angle of 60° with respect to the positive x-axis, what equilibrant force will allow the object to remain in equilibrium?

Step 1
This means that the car's velocity is a combination of its original northbound velocity and the eastward velocity caused by the wind. Show more…

A car is travelling north at a constant speed of 20 m/s. A force is applied directly east on the car. The motion of the car will be change in which of these ways? A) The speed of the car will increase. B) The speed of the car will decrease. C) The speed will increase, and the car will change the direction it is moving. D) The speed will remain the same, but the car will change the direction it is moving.

In what direction relative to the direction of travel can a force act on a car (traveling on level ground) and not change the kinetic energy? perpendicular to the direction of travel antiparallel to the direction of travel parallel to the direction of travel Can you give examples of such forces? (Select all that apply.) normal force the force supplied by the car's motor friction between the tires and the ground gravity drag force
