Expert Solution
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 32QAP

The x component of the vector A+B is 13 units and its y component is 6 units.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The components of the vectors A,B and C

  Ax=6Ay=9Bx=7By=3Cx=0Cy=6

Formula used:

If A+B=P, then the x component of P is given by,

  Px=Ax+Bx

And the y component of P is given by,

  Py=Ay+By

Calculation:

Substitute the given values of the variables in the formula and calculate the x component.

  Px=Ax+Bx=6+7=13

Substitute the given values of the variables in the formula and calculate the y component.

  Py=Ay+By=93=6

Conclusion:

The x component of the vector A+B is 13 units and its y component is 6 units.

Formula used:

If A+BC=R, then, the x component of the vector R is given by,

  Rx=Ax+BxCx

The y component is given by,

  Ry=Ay+ByCy

Calculation:

Substitute the given values of the variables in the formula and calculate the x component.

Rx=Ax+BxCx=6+70=13

Substitute the given values of the variables in the formula and calculate the y component.

Ry=Ay+ByCy=9+36=12

Conclusion:

The x component of the vector A+BC is 13 units and the y component is 12 units.
