The stars Rigel, Betelgeuse and Aldebaran make up the asterism (unofficial star pattern) known as the winter triangle. Assuming that you have taken a look at each of these stars, including the moon, in this order: Rigel – Betelgeuse – Aldebaran – Moon, what would be the resultant vector, that is, the displacement between Rigel and the Moon. Each tick (the little lines) of the ruler corresponds to one unit. Find the distance between each vector points, their angles, and find the resultant vector. Illustrate a graph showing the proper labeling of the vectors (e.g. Rigel – Betelgeuse is ), the angle of each vector and the magnitude and angle of the resultant vector.

Question

The stars Rigel, Betelgeuse and Aldebaran make up the asterism (unofficial star pattern) known as the winter triangle. Assuming that you have taken a look at each of these stars, including the moon, in this order: Rigel – Betelgeuse – Aldebaran – Moon, what would be the resultant vector, that is, the displacement between Rigel and the Moon. Each tick (the little lines) of the ruler corresponds to one unit.

Find the distance between each vector points, their angles, and find the resultant vector. Illustrate a graph showing the proper labeling of the vectors (e.g. Rigel – Betelgeuse is ), the angle of each vector and the magnitude and angle of the resultant vector.
