physics question

Ahmad234:

AZ:

how would we calculate the resultant vector in red?

AZ:

you have to take the 4 vectors and break them into the x and y components and add all the x-components and add all the y-components and then you can find the magnitude and the angle

AZ:

do you understand? @Ahmad234

Oh, have a look at this -- https://cdn.numerade.com/encoded/df209437-f9f3-4191-b45a-f62f73e9c6dc.webm

Ahmad234:

@AZ I donot understand

bbg2021:

??

Ahmad234:

I don't understand angles ? @AZ

bbg2021:

thats sad

AZ:

@Ahmad234 so A = 100 m east B = 300 m south C = 150 m 30 degrees south from west D = 200 m 30 degrees west from north

AZ:

A only has an x-component B only has a y-component |dw:1615135511037:dw| |dw:1615135635922:dw| does that help?

AZ:

|dw:1615136152199:dw| you have to remember sin 30 = opposite side / hypotenuse we know the hypotenuse is 150 so sin 30 = opposite side /150 and so opposite side = 150 * sin 30 and the opposite side = y-component and since it is in the third quadrant, the sin value will be negative and similarly for the x-component, it would be cos anad cos is negative in the second quadrant

Ahmad234:

thanks

AZ:

No problem! Let me know if you want me to check your work

Ahmad234:

yes

Ahmad234:

check my work

bbg2021:

?

AZ:

I don't see image?

bbg2021:

same
