Vector V is 448 m long in a 224 direction Vector Wis 336 m long in a 759 direction Find the direction of their vector sum class=

Respuesta :

The magnitude of the vector sum of the two vectors V and W is determined as 240.84 m toward + x.

What is a vector?

A vector is a quantity or phenomena with magnitude and direction that are independent of one another. The phrase also refers to a quantity's mathematical or geometrical representation.

The following are the x and y axes for the supplied vector:

Vector V in x direction;

[tex]\rm V_x = Vcos \theta \\\\ V_x = 448cos(224^0)\\\\ Vx = -322.26[/tex]

Vector V in y direction;

[tex]\rm V_y = Vsin \theta\\\\ V_y = 448 \times sin224^0\\\\ V_y = -311.2[/tex]

Vector W in x direction;

[tex]\rm W_x = 336 \times cos(75.9^0)\\\\ W_x = 81.86[/tex]

Vector W in y direction;

[tex]\rm W_y = 336 \times sin75.9\\\\\ W_y = 325.88[/tex]

The resultant vector in the x direction is;

∑X = -322.26 + 81.86

∑X == -240.4

The resultant vector in the y direction is;

∑Y = -311.2 + 325.88

∑Y  = 14.68

The resultant vector is found as;

[tex]\rm R =\sqrt{(-240.4)^2+(14.68)^2} \\\\R = 240.84 \ m[/tex]

Hence,  the direction of their vector sum is 240.84 toward +x-axis.
