1. We find the horizontal force with trigonometry

F_horizontal = F * cos(30°) = 20 N * cos(30°) = 17.32 N

Therefore, the force in the horizontal direction is **17.32 N**.

2. To find the net force, we need to resolve each force into its horizontal and vertical components, sum these components, and recombine them. Again we do this with trigonometry

Horizontal component of 5 N force = 5 N * cos(30°) = 4.33 N
Vertical component of 5 N force = 5 N * sin(30°) = 2.5 N

Horizontal component of 8 N force = 8 N * cos(60°) = 4 N
Vertical component of 8 N force = 8 N * sin(60°) = 6.93 N

Net horizontal force = 4.33 N + 4 N = 8.33 N
Net vertical force = 2.5 N + 6.93 N = 9.43 N

Net force = sqrt(8.33^2 + 9.43^2) = 12.6 N

Therefore, the net force acting on the object is **12.6 N**.

3 - We find the vertical force with trigonometry:

F_vertical = F * sin(40°) = 500 N * sin(40°) = 321.4 N

Therefore, the component of the force that acts in the upward direction is 321.4 N.

4 - We find the resulting velocity of the object using the equation:

v_final = v_initial + (F_net/m) * t

Since the object is moving with a constant velocity, the initial velocity is 10 m/s. The net force is equal to the applied force in the proper direction, which is -5 N, minus the frictional force, which is zero since the object is moving with a constant velocity.

However, the mass of the object *m* is not given, and neither is the time *t* that the force is applied, so we can't solve for the final velocity. Therefore this question is **unsolvable (not enough information)**.

5 - We use trigonometry to find the component of the weight force acting perpendicular to the slope:

F_perpendicular = F_weight * sin(30°) = 100 N * sin(30°) = 50 N

Therefore, the component of the weight force acting perpendicular to the slope is **50 N.**
