OpenStudy (anonymous):

what's this, a test question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, homewoek

OpenStudy (anonymous):

work*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well break up both vectors to I and J components and add the components

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how? i don't understand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well for example U is 22.9 units long aka magnitude Point at 25.6 degrees Its i component is 22.9*cos(25.6) Its j component is 22.9*sin(25.6) now do that for v and add the components remember i component = magnitude * cos(theta) j componen=magniture * sin(theta)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do same for v and get back to me :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i = 41*cos(122) j=41* sin(122)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes also make sure your calculator is in degree mode not radians you should get for U= a*i + b*j V= c*i + d*j wher a, b, c, and d are constants (a+c)*i this this is x component of U+V (b+d)*j this is Y component of U+V

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is a b c d?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a*i is is x componen of U Get by magnitude of U * cos (theta of v) = 22.9 * cos(25.6) b is y component of U mag of * sin(theta of v c is x comp of V d is y comp of V
