Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The angle between aandbis57

b) The x component of cis 2.2 m

c) The y component of cisb,bx=0.5m,by=4.5m

d) The x component of dis -2.2 m

e) The y component ofdis 4.5 m

Step by step solution

01

Given data

The components ofaare,ax=3.2m,ay=1.6m

The components ofb,bx=0.5m,by=4.5mb,bx=0.5m,by=4.5m

The magnitude of cis 5.0 m

The magnitude of dis5.0 m

02

Understanding the concept of scalar product

A scalar product is the product of the magnitude of one vector and the scalar component of the second vector along the direction of the first vector.Using the formula for scalar product and vector product we can find the angle between two vectors.

Formula:

cos=a.bab 鈥(颈)

03

(a) Calculate the angle between the directions of a→ and b→ 

Write the vectors in the unit vector notations first.

a=axi+ayj+azk=3.2i+1.6jmb=bxi+byj+bzk=0.5i+4.5jm

Now, use equation (i) to find the angle between the two vectors.

cos=3.2i+1.6jm.0.5i+4.5jm3.22+1.62m.0.52+4.52m=0.5426=cos-10.5426=57

Therefore, the angle between the two vectors is 57.

04

(b) Calculate the x component of C→

The angle made bywith x-axis is,

=tan-11.6m3.2m=26.6

As cis perpendicular to a, the angle made by cwith x-axis is 26.6-90=-63.4

The x component of

cx=5m.cos-63.4=2.2m

Therefore, the x component of cis 2.2m.

05

(c) Calculate the y component of vector c→

The y component of cis calculated as,

cy=5m.sin-63.4=-4.5m

06

(d) Calculatethe x component of vector d→

As dis perpendicular to a, the angle made by dwith x-axis is26.6+90=116.6

Therefore, the x component ofd

role="math" localid="1657006734048" dx=5m.cos116.6=-2.2m

Therefore, the x component ofd is -2.2m

07

(e) Calculate the y component of vector d→

The y component ofis calculated as follows

dy=5m.sin116.6=4.5m

Therefore, the y component ofd is 4.5m.
