A force F1 of magnitude 5.00 units acts on an object at the origin in a direction θ = 47.0° above the positive x-axis. (See the figure below.) A second force F2 of magnitude 5.00 units acts on the object in the direction of the positive y-axis. Find graphically the magnitude and direction of the resultant force F1 + F2.
Okay so I know how to work the problem and I have the answer,but what I don't understand is why you add +5 from the F2 force to the Y value. Thank you!

F1 is a force of two components an x component and a y component
F2 is a force of one component in the y direction
when you find the resultant you add the x components and the y component to get the resultant
x and y components that then can be resolved into a single vector at an angle.
Hope this has been of some help.
nicely i think of I incredibly have had perhaps over 10 sausages .. yet have been having the comparable one for the previous 19 years .. I in basic terms choose i will have have been given my palms on that Gloucester sausage ! edit - do you somewhat recommend "sausages" pmsl ?
