I have a picture of the question..help =(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

get x and y components of each vector

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A is easy magnitude * cos(theta)=x magnitude * sin(theta)= y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A is just 0 i + 16 j you try B and C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b= i+20j c= 20i+j ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Magnitude of B is 20

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

direction is 45 degree x component = 20 * Cos[45] = 20/ sqrt[2] y component = 20 * Sin[45] = 20/ Sqrt[2]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did u get that lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How did I get what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the x and y comps

OpenStudy (anonymous):

usually, x component= magntide * cos(direction) y component = magnitude* sin(direction)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you try C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got the same thing for both for b.....14.14...is that right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and c would be the same as B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

almost same

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x component = 20 * Cos[-45] = 14.14 y component = 20 * Sin[-45]= -14.14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so units would be 32.50???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and 147.5 degrees?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and what is the equation for r lol what we have been doing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

add all the x components, add all the y components

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A={0,16} B={14.14,14,14} C={14,14,-14,14}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0+14+14=28 16+14.14-14.14=16 {28,16} is our resultant vector

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats what i got..ok good lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

{28.28,16} is our resultant vector

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find magnitude and direction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for mag i got 32.5 for direction i got 147.5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

magnitude is right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 29.499 for direction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me try again then..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o oops lol well let me put that in and see waht happens

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep =) good job again!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so that's your b)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea i got all of it right =)

OpenStudy (anonymous):
