Learning Goal: Vector Addition or Subtraction? Graphical method (Drawing) and component method (calculations) A traveler's current location and his destination are shown in He is to travel from the current location to the destination. Vectors C and D are given as: magnitudes C=18.4mD=36.6m angles ?=22??=22? The drawing may not be to scale.
Check that your calculator' s angles are in "DEGREES". sin30?=0.5 Part A - Vector C : Calculate its x - and y-components. (Pay attention to the angle used in calculation, and the sign of each component.) Part B - Vector D : Calculate its x - and y - components. (Pay attention to the angle used in caiculation, and the sign of each component.) Draw a displacement vector from the current location to the destination and label this new vector as R. Part C - What is the correct relationship among vectors C,D and R.? Part D - Find the x - and y - components of vector R. Part E - Find the magnitude and the direction of vector R. Note: because the drawings may not be to scale, the vector R obtained in the drawings may not match your calculations, especailly its direction.
