Desribe precisely and concisely in 4 to 6 sentences the steps necessary to find the resultant magnitude and direction of two or more vectors

Solutions

Expert Solution

Two pieces of information are required to describe a vector -- its maginitude (size) and its direction (tilt).

This information may be stated graphically or algebraically. When stated algebraically vectors may be given in either rectangular form, (x,y), or polar form, r and .

Rectangular form, (x,y), says:
start at the origin,
go the required distance in the x direction (the x-component of the vector), then
go the required distance in the y direction (the y-component of the vector), then
stop, and
consider the LENGTH AND DIRECTION OF THE SHORTCUT FROM START TO FINISH as the vector.

Polar form, r , says:
start at the origin,
go in the required direction (the direction of the vector),
go for the required distance (the magnitude of the vector), then
stop, and
consider the LENGTH AND DIRECTION OF THE PATH FROM START TO FINISH as the vector.
