Is the following statement true or false? Explain. If the wind is blowing from the southwest, then the bearing for the wind vector is 225°. Choose the correct answer below. O A. The statement is true because a wind blowing from the southwest would cause the air to travel northeast, which would be a vector represented by a 225° angle. B. The statement is false because a wind blowing from the southwest would cause the air to travel northeast, which would be a vector represented by a 45° angle. C. The statement is false because southwest would be represented on the unit circle by a vector pointing into the middle of quadrant 1, which is a 45° angle. D. The statement is true because southwest would be represented on the unit circle by a vector pointing into the middle of quadrant 3, which is a 225° angle.

Lab 4: Vectors nitude of 8.4 km and points 2. Components of vectors. The vector in this problem is a velocity vector which starts at the origin, has a magnitude of 11 m/s and has a direction of 135 degrees (measured counter clockwise from the +x axis). a. Using the gridlines below (0.5 cm spacing), draw the vector. This time, choose your own scale factor. Record your scale factor below. Make sure your scale factor is large enough so that your vector takes up most of the space in the diagram. Use a protractor and ruler to make sure your vector has the correct magnitude and direction. b. Draw a dotted line from the tip of the vector to the x axis. Using a ruler, measure the the x component in cm, and use the scale factor to convert to m/s. boltol c. Draw a dotted line from the tip of the vector to the y axis. Using a ruler, measure the the y component, and use the scale factor to convert to m/s. 5
