To find magnitude of vector a→+b→+c→

Using the above values the vector a→+b→+c→can be written as

a→+b→+c→=30.4iÁåœ-23.3mjÁåœMagnitudeofa→+b→+c→isa→+b→+c→=30.4m2+-23.3m2a→+b→+c→=38m

To find the angle between vector a→+b→+c→ and x axis

The angle between a→+b→+c→and x axis is

tan-1-23.3m30.4m=-37.5°

This is equivalent to 37.5°clockwise from the +x axis and322.5°counterclockwise from +x axis

To find the angle between vector a→+b→+c→ and x axis

The angle betweena→+b→+c→and x axis is

tan-126.5m127m=1.2°

Therefore, the angle between a→+b→+c→ and +x axis is 1.2°

To find the angle between vector d→ and x axis

The angle betweend→and +x axis is

tan-147.4m-40.4m=50°

As vectord→is in third quadrant so,

180°-50°=130°

Therefore, the angle betweend→and +x axis is

Most popular questions from this chapter

Typical backyard ants often create a network of chemical trails for guidance. Extending outward from the nest, a trail branches (bifurcates) repeatedly, with60°between the branches. If a roaming ant chances upon a trail, it can tell the way to the nest at any branch point: If it is moving away from the nest, it has two choices of path requiring a small turn in its travel direction, either30°leftward30°or rightward. If it is moving toward the nest, it has only one such choice. Figure 3-29shows a typical ant trail, with lettered straight sections of 20 cmlength and symmetric bifurcation of60°. Path v is parallel to the y axis. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) angle (relative to the positive direction of the superimposed x axis) ofan ant’s displacement from the nest (find it in the figure) if the ant enters the trail at point A? What are the (c) magnitude and (d) angle if it enters at point B?
