Question
Compute the $x$ - and $y$ -components of the vectors $A, B, C,$ and $\vec{D}$ in Fig. $\mathrm{E} 1.22$
Step 1
In this case, it is 3 units to the right, so the x-component of A is 3. Vector B: The x-component is the horizontal distance from the tail to the head of the vector. In this case, it is 2 units to the left, so the x-component of B is -2. Vector C: The Show more…
