Need help with question 2: Add the following vectors using the component method. Give your answer in both component form and polar coordinate form. Make a sketch to represent each problem by drawing both vectors and the resultant.
The horizontal distance or range (R) of an object thrown at an angle θ from the horizontal is represented by the equation below where v0 is the initial velocity as the object leaves the hand, in feet per second. If v0 = 2500 feet per second and θ is changed from 13° to 14°, use differentials to approximate the change in range, in feet.
