Express vector A in Cartesian form. b) Draw vector B in its reference frame and determine its x component and its y component. Express vector B in Cartesian form. c) Draw vector C in its reference frame and determine its x component and its y component. Express vector C in Cartesian form. d) Determine the resulting vector Cartesian Reform. In addition, determine its magnitude and its angle. Note: As can be seen in the diagram, the resulting vector is in the first quadrant, so the signs of its components and its angle have to be those corresponding to a vector in the first guadrant. wwwM wmww o w y (norte) 10.0 m 20.0 m <30.0° 50.0 m 60.0° (oeste) x (este)arrow_forwardClara de Iles is shopping.
