Two forces are applied to a tree stump to pull it out of the ground. force a has a magnitude of 2580 newtons (n) and points 36.0 ° south of east, while force b has a magnitude of 2270 n and points due south. using the component method, find the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the resultant force a + b that is applied to the stump. specify the direction as a positive angle with respect to due east.

Since you have not included the experiment situation and the data, of course, i can not give you specific details about it. but i can you with this question.1) i will assume that the motion is projectile (parabolic) motion.2) yes, the horizontal distance depends on the horizontal velocity as, naming vx the horizontal velocity and t the time, it is: x = vx × t3) now, observe that the flight time depends on the vertical velocity as, naming voy the initial vertical velocity, t the time and y the vertical distance before reaching the ground: y = yo + voy×t - gt² / 2.the higher the initial vertical velocity (voy) the longer the object will be flying and so t will be higher in the equation for the horizontal distance.that explains the relationship between the horizontal distance and the horizontal velocity.
