What is the magnitude
What is the magnitude
of C = A + B, in meters?
of D = 2A - B, in meters?
Transcribed Image Text:What is the magnitude What is the magnitude of C = A + B, in meters? of D = 2A - B, in meters?
Consider the two displacement vectors, A = (2.8 m)i + (-3.6 m)j + (-2.6 m)k and B = (2.1 m)i + (-7.4 m)j + (2.8 m)k.
Transcribed Image Text:Consider the two displacement vectors, A = (2.8 m)i + (-3.6 m)j + (-2.6 m)k and B = (2.1 m)i + (-7.4 m)j + (2.8 m)k.
Expert Solution
Step 1

The vectors A=2.8i^+-3.6j^+-2.6k^ m, B=2.1i^+-7.4j^+2.8k^ m

Vector C=A+B

C=2.8+2.1i^+-3.6-7.4j^+-2.6+2.8k^ m

C=4.9i^+-11.0j^+0.2k^ m

Magnitude of C is, C=4.9 m2+-11.0 m2+0.2 m2= 12.044 m .
