Convert the mixed numbers above to improper fractions. Thus:
In order to simplify the fractions above, the division sign changes to multiplication sign thus turn the right hand side of the fraction inversely such that -2/3 to -3/2. Hence,
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This requires some serious work before we even begin. First off, we will convert the km to meters:
32 km = .032 m
46 km = .046 m
And then we have to deal with the angle given as 40 degrees west of north. An angle 40 degrees west of north "starts" at the north end of the compass and moves towards the west (towards the left in a counterclockwise manner) 40 degrees. That means that the angle that is made with the negative x axis is a 50 degree angle. BUT the way angles are measured in standard form are from the positive x-axis, therefore:
40 degrees west of north = 50 degrees with the negative x axis = 130 degrees with the positive x axis. 130 is the angle measure we use. Phew! Now we're ready to start. Adding vectors requires us to use the x and y components of vectors in order to add them.
so
(the 90 degrees comes from "due north")
so
and if we add those to get the x component of the resultant vector, C:
And onto the y components:
so
so
and if we add those together to get the y component of the resultant vector, C:
Note that since
is negative and
is positive, the resultant angle (the direction) will put us into QII.
We find the magnitude of C:
We will round this after we take the square root to the thousandths place.
and now for the angle:
which gives us an angle measure of -67, but since we are in QII, we add 180 to that to get that, in sum:
The magnitude of the resultant vector is .073 m at 113°
