The two vectors shown, R and S, each have a magnitude of 5 meters. A) Calculate the magnitude of the difference of these vectors: R-S. B) Calculate the angle R- S relative to the positive x axis. C) Sketch the graphical vector subtraction R - S on the graph (sketch the x-y coordinates if needed) to see the direction that R- S points. The drawn direction does not have to be very accurate, but should point towards the right quadrant and be consistent with your answer in B).

Add the following vectors using head-to-tail method as well as the parallelogram method and verify your results using the component method. 1. Vector A has a magnitude of 4.0 cms at an angle of 30 degrees with the positive X-axis; vector B has a magnitude of 3.0 cms at 90 degrees with + X-axis; vector C has a magnitude of 5.0 cms at 120 degrees with + X-axis. 2. In addition to vectors A, B, and C in problem # 1, there is a vector D with a magnitude of 6.0 cms at an angle of 210 degrees with +X-axis.
A vector has a horizontal component of -21 and vertical component of 46, what is the magnitude of this vector? Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.
