The two vectors shown in Fig. 3-21 lie in a xy plane. What are the signs

of the x and y components, respectively, of (a)d鈬赌1+d鈬赌2,(b)d鈬赌1-d鈬赌2,and(c)d鈬赌2-d鈬赌1?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The x component is negative and the y component is positive ford鈬赌1+d鈬赌2

b. The x component and y component of d鈬赌1-d鈬赌2is negative.

c. The x component and y component of d鈬赌2-d鈬赌1is positive.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The two vectors are located in the XY plane as shown in the figure.

02

Vector addition and subtraction

The problem deals with the addition and subtraction of two vectors. Two vectors can be added or subtracted only when they are of the same type and nature. We can use the formula for the addition and subtraction of the two vectors.

Formula:

d鈬赌1+d2鈬赌=R鈬赌

03

(a) To find the x and y component of d⇀1+d⇀2

In the given figure, the two vectors are in the xy plane.

a) X-Y component ofd1鈬赌+d2鈬赌

The given figure A,d1鈬赌has negative x-y components andd2鈬赌has positive x-y components. When we draw the resultantR鈬赌, in the given figure, it would be present in the second quadrant.

d1鈬赌+d2鈬赌=R鈬赌

Hence according to the concept of addition of vector geometrically, the resultant has a negative x component and positive y component.

04

(b) To find the x and y components of d1⇀-d2⇀


For d1鈬赌-d2鈬赌, x-y components of d1鈬赌and -d2鈬赌are negative. When we draw the resultant R鈬赌by using the concept of subtraction of vectors geometrically, it would be present in the third quadrant as shown in figure B.

d1鈬赌-d2鈬赌=R鈬赌

Here,-d2鈬赌has the same magnitude asd2鈬赌but is oppositely directed.

Hence, d1鈬赌-d2鈬赌has negative x and y components.

05

(c) To find the x and y component of d2⇀-d1⇀


For,d2鈬赌-d1鈬赌 an x-y component of -d1鈬赌and d2鈬赌are positive. When we draw the resultant of d2鈬赌-d1鈬赌by using the concept of subtraction of vector geometrically, it can be located in the first quadrant as shown in figure C.

d2鈬赌-d1鈬赌=R鈬赌

Here, -d1鈬赌has the same magnitude as d1鈬赌, but is oppositely directed.

Hence, the x-y components of d2鈬赌-d1鈬赌are positive.
