Question

terrence and myra are partners in a figure skating competition. myra leaps in the air to perform a trick, and the ground exerts a force onto her with an x-component of 150 newtons and a y-component of 565 newtons. at the same time, terrence lifts myra into the air, exerting a force onto myra with an x-component of 80 newtons and a y-component of 420 newtons.
what is the resultant force on myra?
the resultant force on myra has an x-component of □ newtons and a y-component of □ newtons.

Explanation:

Step1: Sum x-components of forces

$F_{x,total} = 150 + 80$

Step2: Sum y-components of forces

$F_{y,total} = 565 + 420$

Answer:

The resultant force on Myra has an x-component of 230 newtons and a y-component of 985 newtons.
