Question

Consider the three displacement vectors  = (−2î − 3ĵ) m,  = (4î − 5ĵ) m, and = (−6î + 5ĵ) m.

 Use the component method to determine the following. (Take the +x direction to be to the right.

WHY IS THE ANGLE INCCORECT?  NOT IN THE CORRECT QUADRANT? 

Consider the three displacement vectors A = (-2î – 3ĵ) m, B = (4î – 5ĵ) m, and C = (-6î + 5j) m. Use the component
