Question

First three

Expert Solution

Step 1

Vectors have both magnitude (size) and direction. Consider toward right as positive and toward left as negative direction.

In the first

Vector G has magnitude of 6 units and points towards left

Vector L has magnitude of 4 units and points towards left

Both are in same direction

$\begin{array}{rcl} \vec{Y} & = & \vec{L} + \vec{G} \\ = & (- 6 unit) + (- 4 unit) \\ = & - 10 unit negative sign indicates direction towards left \end{array}$

The resultant is of magnitude 10 units and points towards left.
