Three vectors V₁, V2, V3 originate from a single point. The vector v₁ is on the x-y plane, at an angle of 30deg counter-clockwise from the positive x axis and has a magnitude of 500 units. The vector v₂ is on the y-z plane at an angle counter-clockwise from the positive y axis such than tan 0= 3/4 and has a magnitude of 400 units. Vector V3 has a magnitude of 800 units. If the direction of the resultant vector is defined by the unit vector Ug = cos 30º j + sin 30º k. (A) Determine the coordinate angles of v3. (B) Determine the magnitude of resultant vector. Report results in three significant figures.
I need help on this problem: Consider two vectors are in the x-y plane. Vector a has a magnitude of 5.0 N and is directed along at an angle of 40 degrees from x-axis in the first quadrant, and b has magnitude of 6.0 N and is directed along at an angle of 50 degrees from y-axis in the second quadrant. Find the x and y components of vector a and vector b. Find the magnitude and direction of (vector a + vector b). Find the magnitude and direction of (vector a - vector b).
Vectors A and B lie in the xy-plane. Vector À has a magnitude of 12.1 and is at an angle of 105.5° counterclockwise from the +x-axis. Vector B has a magnitude of 21.9 and is 250.3* from the +x-axis. Resolve A and B into components, and express using ijk unit vectors, A = Axi + Ayj + A-k B = B₂i + B₂j + B₂k where A., Ay, A₂ and B₁, B₁, and B₂ are the calculated values of the x-, y-, and z-components of vectors A and B, respectively. Ā = B = Find the magnitude and unit vector for the cross product between A and B. |ĀXB| = Identify the unit vector for AX B. j k
