A=(2.00m)i+(3.00m)jB=(4.00m)at+65.0C=(-4.00m)i+(-6.00m)jD=(5.00m)at-235

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) Sum of the four vectors is-3.18i+4.72j .

(b) The magnitude of the sum of the four vectors is 5.69m .

(c) The angle made by the sum of the four vectors isrole="math" localid="1656993876151" -56.0 .

Step by step solution

01

Step 1: Given data

The following four vectors are given:

A=(2.00m)i+(3.00m)jB=(4.00m)at+65.0C=(-4.00m)i+(-6.00m)jD=(5.00m)at-235
02

Determining the concept

With the help of given magnitude and the angle the conversion of vectors into unit vector is possible.After addition of four vectors, the answer will come out in the form of a unit vector, and the magnitude and angle of that unit vector can be determined.

Formulae are as follows:

E=Ax+Bx+Cx+Dxi+Ay+By+Cy+Dyj (i)

The formula for magnitude:

E=x2+y2 (ii)

The formula for angle:

=tan-1yx (iii)

Where is the angle between x and y.

03

(a) Determination of the sum of the vectors

The in the unit vector form is written as,

A=2.00mi+3.00mj

Now, write vector Bin the unit vector form.

Bx=5.00cos-235=1.69By=5.00sin-235=3.62

Therefore,

B=1.69i+3.62j

Now, vector Cis written as,

C=-4.00mi+-6.00mj

Now, write vector D in the unit vector form.

Dx=5.00cos-235=-2.87Dy=4.00sin-235=4.10

Therefore,

D=-2.87i+4.10j

Now, the sum of four vectors is calculated from equation (i) as follows:

G=A+B+C+D=2.00-4.00+1.69-2.87i+3.00-6.00+3.63+4.10j=3.18i+4.72j

Therefore, sum of the four vectors is 3.18i+4.72j.

04

(b) Determination of the magnitude

From equation (ii), find the magnitude of vectorG.

G=-3.182+4.722=5.69m

Therefore, magnitude is 5.69m .

05

(c) Determination of the angle

Use equation (iii) to determine the angle as below:

=tan-1yx=tan-14.72-3.18=-56.0

Therefore, anglemade by the sum of the vector is-56.0 .
