Let Find the -components of localid="1651138630094" in each of the two coordinate systems shown in FIGURE EX3.18.

II Ruth sets out to visit her friend Ward, who lives north and east of her. She starts by driving east, but after she comes to a detour that takes her south before going east again. She then drives east for and runs out of gas, so Ward flies there in his small plane to get her. What is Ward's displacement vector? Give your answer (a) in component form, using a coordinate system in which the -axis points north, and (b) as a magnitude and direction.
6. I Draw each of the following vectors. Then find its - and components.
a., negative x-direction)
b.below the positive x-axis )
c. above the positive x-axis )
Your neighbor Paul has rented a truck with a loading ramp. The ramp is tilted upward at 25°, and Paul is pulling a large crate up the ramp with a rope that angles 10° above the ramp. If Paul pulls with a force of 550 N, what are the horizontal and vertical components of his force? (Force is measured in newtons, abbreviated N.)
A velocity vector 40°below the positive x-axis has a y-component of -10 m/s. What is the value of its x-component?
