Question
Part A: determine the magnitude of the sum of the three vectors V1=8.0i-9.0j, V2=i+j, and V3=-2.0i+3.0j express answer using two signficant figures
Part B: determine the angle(in degrees) of the sum of the three vectors V1=8.0i-9.0j, V2=i+j, and V3=-2. 0i+3.0j express answer using two signficant figures
Part C:determine the magnitude of V1-V2+V3
Part D:determine the angle in degrees of V1-V2+V3
Explanation / Answer
(A) V = V1 + V2 + V3
= (8 + 1 -2)i + (-9+ 1 + 3)j
= 7i - 5j
magnitude = sqrt[ 7^2 + 5^2] = 8.6
(b) direction angle = 360 - tan^-1(5/7) = 324 deg
(C) V' = V1 - V2 + V3 = (8 - 1 -2)i + (-9 - 1 + 3)j
V' = 5i - 7j
magnitude = 8.60
(D) directionangle = 360 - tan^-1(7/5) = 306 deg
