If you let northward be a positive force and southward be a negative force, you could add the two forces in this manner:
+10N + -15N = -5N
This gives you not only the magnitude of the net force, but also the direction: 5N southward.
The acceleration is opposite the direction the object is moving, so the acceleration is negative and southward.
The magnitude of the Coriolis force depends on the speed of the object, the latitude at which the object is located, and the mass of the object.
No, acceleration has both magnitude and direction. Magnitude refers to the rate of change of an object's velocity, while direction specifies which way the object is accelerating.
The magnitude of acceleration is the rate at which an object's velocity changes over time. It is a measure of how quickly the object is speeding up or slowing down.
Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both the speed and direction of an object's motion, while magnitude of velocity refers to the speed of the object regardless of direction. So, the magnitude of velocity is the absolute value of the velocity vector without considering its direction.
The object behaves exactly as it would in response to a single force of 10N northward, since that's the vector sum of all of the [horizontal] forces on it (that we know about).
Yes, an object can have a northward velocity and southward acceleration. This situation occurs when the object is moving northwards but its speed is decreasing or it is changing direction towards the south.
The acceleration is opposite the direction the object is moving, so the acceleration is negative and southward.
Magnitude refers to the size of a mathematical object. The greater an object's volume, area, or length, the greater its magnitude. The magnitude of a number is referred to as its "absolute value."
Scalars are a magnitude by itself. Vectors are magnitude and direction.
The magnitude of the Coriolis force depends on the speed of the object, the latitude at which the object is located, and the mass of the object.
There is no such thing as the direction or magnitude of an object. The direction and magnitude of its speed, acceleration, or momemtum, or of the forces on it, are represented by vectors.
No, acceleration has both magnitude and direction. Magnitude refers to the rate of change of an object's velocity, while direction specifies which way the object is accelerating.
The magnitude scale is calibrated such that a difference of 5 magnitudes is equal to a 100x difference in brightness. Note also that the lower the value for magnitude, the brighter the object is. If object A has a magnitude of 0 and object B has a magnitude of -5, then object B is 100 times as bright as object A. The fifth root of 100 is 2.512 (to 4 significant figures), therefore a difference in magnitude of 1 is equal to a 2.512x difference in brightness.
The magnitude and direction of the force applied to an object, the magnitude and direction of the distance moved by the object.
The magnitude of acceleration is the rate at which an object's velocity changes over time. It is a measure of how quickly the object is speeding up or slowing down.
Apparent magnitude is the type of magnitude based on how bright an object looks from Earth. It measures the brightness of an object as seen from the observer's viewpoint.
