The Vector Nature of Newtons Second Law
F = ma
is equivalent to
F y = ma y Fx = ma x
The Vector Nature of Newtons Second Law
Example. A man is stranded on a raft (mass of man and raft = 1300 kg).
By paddling, he causes an average force P of 17 N to be applied to the raft
in a direction due east (the +x direction). The wind also exerts a force A
on the raft. This force has a magnitude of 15 N and points 67o north of east.
Ignoring any resistance from the water, find the x and y components of the
rafts acceleration.

The Vector Nature of Newtons Second Law
Assume that initially the velocity of the raft is 0.15 m/s in a direction due
east (the + x direction). Assuming that the forces are maintained for 65 s,
find the x and y components of the rafts displacement during this time
interval.

Another Newtons 2nd Law example
Example. The figure below shows two forces with magnitudes F1 = +2000 N
and F2 = +3000 N acting on an object, the plus signs indicating that the
forces act along the +x axis. A third force F3 also acts on the object but is not
shown in the figure. The object is moving with a constant velocity of +750 m/s
along the x axis. Find the magnitude and direction of F3.
v = +750 m/s
