Question

. Draw a Cartesian coordinate system on a sheet of paper. On this Cartesian coordinate system, draw each vector to scale, starting at the origin. (a) Dd > 5 8.0 cm [S 15° E] (b) Dd > 5 5.7 cm [N 35° W] (c) Dd > 5 4.2 cm [N 18° E]

Answer 1

Answer:

a) the first vector has magnitude 58 cm and the angle is 15 measured clockwise from the positive side of the x-axis

b) the second vector, the magnitude is 55.7 cm and the angle is 35 half from the negative side of the x-axis in a clockwise direction

c) the magnitude is 54.2 cm with an angle of 18 measured counterclockwise from the x-axis

Explanation:

For this exercise we draw a Cartesian coordinate system in this system: East coincides with the positive part of the x-axis and North with the positive part of the y-axis.

a) the first vector has magnitude 58 cm and the angle is 15 measured clockwise from the positive side of the x-axis

b) the second vector, the magnitude is 55.7 cm and the angle is 35 half from the negative side of the x-axis in a clockwise direction

c) the magnitude is 54.2 cm with an angle of 18 measured counterclockwise from the x-axis

In the attachment we can see the representation of the three vectors
