Question #143931

Why can't the angle between force and displacement be 270 degrees in case of motion in a plane

Expert's answer

If the angle α between vector and axis, then the projection of force\text{If the angle } \alpha \text{ between vector and axis, then the projection of force}

 along axis is found as Fpr=Fcosα\text { along axis is found as }\vec{F{pr}}=\vec{F}*cos{\alpha}

Fpr=Fcosα=Fcos2700=0\vec{F{pr}}=\vec{F}*cos{\alpha}=\vec{F}*cos{270^0}=0

Fpr=0|\vec{F{pr}}|=0

Therefore, the body does not move at this angle.\text{Therefore, the body does not move at this angle.}

Answer: The body does not move at an angle of 270 to the applied force.
