Three vectors V₁, V2, V3 originate from a single point. The vector v₁ is on the x-y plane, at an angle of 30deg counter-clockwise from the positive x axis and has a magnitude of 500 units. The vector v₂ is on the y-z plane at an angle counter-clockwise from the positive y axis such than tan 0= 3/4 and has a magnitude of 400 units. Vector V3 has a magnitude of 800 units. If the direction of the resultant vector is defined by the unit vector Ug = cos 30º j + sin 30º k. (A) Determine the coordinate angles of v3. (B) Determine the magnitude of resultant vector. Report results in three significant figures.
Given three vectors A= 5m W, B= 8m E, and an unknown vector C which lies along the x axis. If the resultant of these three vectors is 2m W, what is the third vector C?
I need help on this problem: Consider two vectors are in the x-y plane. Vector a has a magnitude of 5.0 N and is directed along at an angle of 40 degrees from x-axis in the first quadrant, and b has magnitude of 6.0 N and is directed along at an angle of 50 degrees from y-axis in the second quadrant. Find the x and y components of vector a and vector b. Find the magnitude and direction of (vector a + vector b). Find the magnitude and direction of (vector a - vector b).
