The problem is modelled in the first picture shown below

To work out the resultant vector, we modelled the vectors 150N and 75N as triangle AOB is shown in the second picture with AB as the resultant vector. 

We use the cosine rule to work out the length AB
AB^{2}= 75^{2}+ 150^{2}-(2*75*150*cos(60))
AB^{2} =28125-11250
AB^{2}=16875
AB= \sqrt{16875} =130(nearest whole number)

The third picture shows the full diagram of the vectors

To work out the direction of the resultant vector, we use the sin rule to find the size of angle A and angle B

Angle A
\frac{130}{sin(60)}= \frac{75}{sin(A)}
130sin(A)=75sin(60)
sin(A)= \frac{75sin(60)}{130}
sin(A)=0.4996300406
A= sin^{-1}(0.4996300406)
A=30 (rounded to nearest whole number)

Angle B
B=180-60-30=90

Direction is 60° toward negative x-axis

Answer: Magnitude 130N and direction 60° toward negative x-axis

Use the graph below to answer the question that follows:
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

  D)  Amplitude: 2; period: π; midline: y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is much more easily answered from the graph than from the description of the graph.

The amplitude is the extent of the peak above the midline (2), or half the peak-to-peak value (4/2=2). The midline is the line halfway between the peaks (1). The period is the horizontal distance between peaks of the same polarity (π).
