Question

### Vector Addition and Direction Calculation

In this problem, we are given two vectors and need to determine the direction of their sum.

#### Given Vectors:
- Vector \( \mathbf{A} = 1.00\hat{i} - 2.00\hat{j} \)
- Vector \( \mathbf{B} = 3.00\hat{i} + 4.00\hat{j} \)

#### Task:
What is the direction of vector \( \mathbf{C} = \mathbf{A} + \mathbf{B} \)?

#### Options:
- \( \circ \) 56.3° counterclockwise from the positive x-axis
- \( \circ \) 26.6° counterclockwise from the positive x-axis
- \( \circ \) 30.0° counterclockwise from the positive x-axis
- \( \circ \) 60.0° counterclockwise from the positive x-axis
- \( \circ \) 33.7° counterclockwise from the positive x-axis

### Calculating the Sum of Vectors:
To find vector \( \mathbf{C} \), we add corresponding components of vectors \( \mathbf{A} \) and \( \mathbf{B} \).

\[ \mathbf{C} = \mathbf{A} + \mathbf{B} \]
\[ \mathbf{C} = (1.00\hat{i} - 2.00\hat{j}) + (3.00\hat{i} + 4.00\hat{j}) \]
\[ \mathbf{C} = (1.00 + 3.00)\hat{i} + (-2.00 + 4.00)\hat{j} \]
\[ \mathbf{C} = 4.00\hat{i} + 2.00\hat{j} \]

Now, we must find the direction of vector \( \mathbf{C} \). The direction θ is given by:

\[ \theta = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{C_y}{C_x} \right) \]

Where \( C_y \) and \( C_x \) are the y and x components of vector \( \mathbf{C} \), respectively.

\[ \theta = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{2.00}{4.00} \right)

The route followed by a hiker consists of three displacement vectors A,B ,c Cand . Vector A is along a measured trail and is 1550 m in a direction 25.0° north of east. Vector B is not along a measured trail, but the hiker uses a compass and knows that the direction is 41.0° east of south. Similarly, the direction of vector C is 10.0° north of west. The hiker ends up back where she started, so the resultant displacement is zero, or A+ B+ C = 0. Find the magnitudes of vector B and vector C .
