Sue and Jenny kick a soccer ball at exactly the same time. Sue’s foot exerts a force of 52.6 N to the north. Jenny’s foot exerts a force of 112.8 N to the east. a) What is the magnitude of the resultant force on the ball? Answer in units of N.
Using the addition of forces using right angled triangles. The resultant force sqaured. = 112.8 sqaured + 52.6 squared. So resultant force sqaured is 15490.6. So the resultant force is the sqaure root of this which is 124N to 3 significant figures
