Question

Consider the following vectors: A = 3.0i + 2.0j, B = −7.0i − 4.0j, C = 5.0i − 3.0j.
(a) Let R1 = A + B + C. Calculate R1 in Cartesian (x,y) form.
(b) Calculate the magnitude and direction of R1. Give the direction as an angle measured
from the +x axis, going counterclockwise.
(c) Draw a diagram showing the addition of vectors A, B, and C using the tip-to-tail
