In a hockey game two defencemen simultaneously hit an opposing forward, who has a mass of 80 kg. one defenceman exerts a force on the forward of 475 n, 25° w of n. the other defenceman exerts a force on the forward of 40 n, 60° e of n. determine the net force acting on the forward and the forward’s acceleration.

here two forces are acting simultaneously

25^0 W of N

60^0 E of N

now we will write the two forces in components form

now net force on it will be

so net force is of magnitude

direction is given as

so net force is 480.1 N at 20.2 degree W of N

now the acceleration is given by Newton's II law

answer///terminator or twilight zone;

bacteria that live on the ocean floor are sustained by phytoplankton. phytoplankton, microscopic marine photosynthetic organisms, have a vastly significant role to play not only in the marine food web of which they’re part of, but also on a more global scale. despite their infinitely small size in comparison to other marine organisms, these tiny creatures occupy an immensely important ecological niche: they are the foundation of the marine food web, and as primary producers, play key roles in supporting all other organisms in the marine environment, as well as in the regulation of the earth’s climate through the sequestration of carbon, oxygen production, and other related processes. phytoplankton account for roughly half of all global primary productivity; therefore, their significance extends far beyond the marine environment alone. there is an intriguing sense of irony in the realization that these tiny living beings that often live out their existence unnoticed and undetected by the rest of the world, have such a far-reaching impact on the lives of virtually all other living organisms on the planet, particularly on those in the marine environment. the world that we have become accustomed to has been and is continuously shaped by the workings of these miniscule yet vital “plants of the sea”.

hope this !
