Please provide the relevant images or vectors for Questions 13, 19, 20, and 22 if you would like specific answers for those.

for question 13 0.55 m is pointing up and 0.70 m is too, 0.95 m and 1.60 are pointing down
question 19: 2.8 m and 5.6 and 4.2 m are pointing right and 3.8 m are pointing right
question 20: there is a box in the middle and 15 N is going up and 5 N is going down
question 22: there's a box and 2N is going left 25N is going right and 20 N is going up and down

Based on the information provided for the vectors in Questions 13, 19, 20, and 22, here are the calculations for the net forces:

Question 13

Vectors:

  • 0.55 m (up)
  • 0.70 m (up)
  • 0.95 m (down)
  • 1.60 m (down)

Calculation:

  • Upward forces: \(0.55 m + 0.70 m = 1.25 m\)
  • Downward forces: \(0.95 m + 1.60 m = 2.55 m\)
  • Net force = Upward forces - Downward forces
  • Net force = \(1.25 m - 2.55 m = -1.30 m\) (indicating 1.30 m down)

Answer: 1.30 m down

Question 19

Vectors:

  • 2.8 m (right)
  • 5.6 m (right)
  • 4.2 m (right)
  • 3.8 m (left)

Calculation:

  • Rightward forces: \(2.8 m + 5.6 m + 4.2 m = 12.6 m\)
  • Leftward forces: \(3.8 m\)
  • Net force = Rightward forces - Leftward forces
  • Net force = \(12.6 m - 3.8 m = 8.8 m\) (indicating the direction is right)

Answer: 8.8 m right

Question 20

Forces:

  • 15 N (up)
  • 5 N (down)

Calculation:

  • Net force = Upward forces - Downward forces
  • Net force = \(15 N - 5 N = 10 N\) (indicating the direction is up)

Answer: 10 N up

Question 22

Forces:

  • 2 N (left)
  • 25 N (right)
  • 20 N (up)
  • 20 N (down)

Calculation:

  • Rightward forces = \(25 N\)
  • Leftward forces = \(2 N\)
  • Vertical forces: Upward = \(20 N\), Downward = \(20 N\) (They cancel each other out)
  • Net force horizontally = \(25 N - 2 N = 23 N\) (indicating the direction is right)
  • Net vertical force = \(20 N - 20 N = 0 N\)

Answer: 23 N right
