What is the resultant force acting on a ball thrown up with a force of 10 n when the wind is blowing westward with a force of 5 n?

11.2 N, 63.4 degrees up of west

Explanation:

The two forces (upward, 10 N, and westward, 5 N) are acting perpendicular to each other. This means that we can find the magnitude of the resultant force by using Pythagorean's theorem:

The direction of the resultant force instead is given by

with the angle measured with respect the west direction.

layers of the earth affect the waves and these effects are seen on instruiments such as seimometers
