15) Consider the three vectors shown below in the attache image.

In this example, each vector represents a force in Newton’s (N).  Each vector can be resolved into an x and y component.  Resolve vector A into its x and y components.  Round your answers to two decimal places.

 

            x component of vector A:  _________________________________

            y component of vector A:  _________________________________

 

16) Suppose Vishal goes for a long jog.  During his journey:

 

  • He travels 25 m east,
  • Then 50 m at an angle of 40° N of E (North of East)
  • Then 10 m North,
  • Then 60 m at an angle of 30° S of W (South of West)

 

Calculate Vishal’s displacement.  Note: Specify the magnitude, angle, and reference of the displacement vector.  Include all units with your answers and round your answers to two decimal places.

 

            Magnitude: _________________

 

            Angle: ______________________
