Question

Consider the three velocity vectors listed below:

• A ⃗ with a magnitude of 25.0 m/s in the direction 25◦ S of W

• B⃗ with a magnitude of 18.5 m/s due N

• C⃗ with a magnitude of 22.0 m/s in the direction 35◦ E of S

Draw a vector diagram showing all three vectors and calculate the x- and y-components of each vector. Use a coordinate system where the +x direction points east and the +y direction points north.

What are the magnitudes and directions of each of the following position vectors? When reporting a direction, make sure you give the amount of rotation, the direction of rotation, and the starting point for the rotation.

Ax =12.0m, Ay =16.0m

• Bx =275m, By =−185m

• Cx =−3.40m, Cy =2.60m
