3. Addition of vectors. Vector r1 has a magnitude of 8.4 km and points due East. Vector r2 has a magnitude of 12.6 km and points due North. a. On the grid below, show the addition of r1 and r2 using the tip-to-tail method. Make sure to show the resultant vector on your diagram. Use a scale factor of 1 km per grid line. Use a protractor and ruler to make sure your vectors have the correct magnitude and direction. b. Use a ruler to measure the length of your resultant vector. Use the scale factor to convert this to a magnitude to km. c. Use a protractor to measure the direction of your resultant vector. d. Calculate the the sum of r1 and r2 in x and y component form using algebraic methods. e. Find the magnitude of the resultant vector you calculated in part d. 4. Addition of vectors. Vector r1 has a magnitude of 5.6 km and points due East. Vector r2 has a magnitude of 7.2 km and points due South. Vector r3 has a magnitude of 11.0 km and points due West. Vector r4 has a magnitude of 10.8…
You first walk 10 m at an angle of 30° east of north. Then you walk 15 m at an angle of 45° south of east. Assume that East is X and north is why and assume we start at the origin (0,0). 
A. Make a graph with X and Y axis and draw your path on that graph (to scale or at least as close as you can get). Start the first vector at the origin in the second vector at the top of the first vector. Then draw the resultant vector (their sum)B. Break each part of the walk into their ex and Y components and then some them to get the X and Y components of the resultant vector. Make sure to include units in unit vectors.C. What is your displacement from where you originally started?D. If the whole walk took 40 seconds then what was your average velocity?
You are given a vector in the zy plane that has a magnitude of 80.0 units and a y component of -70.0 units. Part A What are the two possibilities for its z component? Enter your answers using three significant figures separated by a comma. 21, 12 = units Submit Request Answer Part B Assuming the z component is known to be positive, specify the magnitude of the vector which, if you add it to the original one, would give a resultant vector that is 80.0 units long and points entirely in the -z direction.
