Question

Can someone check my work??

Answer 1

I need help with that last resultant part if the rest is correct.

Answer 2

they probably want numbers in the boxes (not the formula)
if you do that, the resultant will be the sum of the numbers (for x) and the sum of the y's

Answer 3

Ok. I was wondering about that. Thanks phi!

Answer 4

How would you go about drawing the resultant? I am bad with that.

Answer 5

first, get the x and y components. what are they ?

Answer 6

It'll take me a min to add them up. My guess is that I add the x and y and just do what I did for the other boxes?

Answer 7

___magnitude at ___ degrees?

Answer 8

you add up *only the x's* to get the resultant x
then add up only the y's to get the resultant y

Answer 9

For the x I got -6.18614

Answer 10

yes

Answer 11

For Y I got 8.3572

Answer 12

yes

Answer 13

you can plot the point (-6.186, 8.357)

then draw a vector from 0,0 to that point

Answer 14

Can do! Thanks so much!

Answer 15

they also want the length (magnitude) and angle

pythagoras gives the length

tan(angle) = y/x = 8.357/-6.186

Answer 16

So basically I will plot the point, draw the vector from 0,0 at that angle?

Answer 17

it's easiest (if you know (x,y) ) to plot the (x,y) point
and draw a line from (0,0) to (x,y)
in other words, from
(0,0) to (-6.2, 8.4) (I rounded.... plotting is not that accurate)

Answer 18

Ok.

Answer 19

Sorry for being so slow with this. I get that part. The angle though, where does it come to play in that?

Answer 20

Based on the picture, you can see the angle will be in the second quadrant.
