Given: A = 10.45 m, 25° North of East B 8.02 m, 50° West of South C 5.2 m, West What is the magnitude and direction of the resultant?
Added by Kayn Z.
Step 1
For vector A: Ax = 10.45 * cos(25°) = 9.45 m (East) Ay = 10.45 * sin(25°) = 4.41 m (North) For vector B: Bx = 8.02 * sin(50°) = 6.14 m (West) By = 8.02 * cos(50°) = 5.16 m (South) For vector C: Cx = 5.2 m (West) Cy = 0 m (No vertical component) Now, we can Show more…

Vector $\vec{a}$ has a magnitude of 5.0 $\mathrm{m}$ and is directed east. Vector $\vec{b}$ has a magnitude of 4.0 $\mathrm{m}$ and is directed $35^{\circ}$ west of due north. What are (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction of $\vec{a}+\vec{b} ?$ What are (c) the magnitude and (d) the direction of $\vec{b}-\vec{a} ?$ (e) Draw a vector diagram for each combination.
Find the direction and magnitude of the vectors. $\overrightarrow{\mathbf{A}}=(22 \mathrm{m}) \hat{\mathbf{x}}+(-14 \mathrm{m}) \hat{\mathbf{y}},$ (b) $\overrightarrow{\mathbf{B}}=(2.5 \mathrm{m}) \hat{\mathbf{x}}+(13 \mathrm{m}) \hat{\mathbf{y}},$ and $(\mathrm{c}) \overrightarrow{\mathbf{A}}+\overrightarrow{\mathbf{B}}$
