1) You have three vectors with (∣v⃗∣,θ)(∣v∣,θ) pairs of (11,75∘)(11,75∘), (8,50∘)(8,50∘), and (10,−100∘)(10,−100∘).
If you wanted to add a fourth vector to those first three such that the sum of all four vectors were 0, what would that fourth vector be? Give your answer as a (vx,vy)(vx,vy) pair. Give your answer to 1 decimal point. Then show it as a (∣v⃗∣,θ)(∣v∣,θ) pair.
Let the given vectors be
Their components in the x direction are
Their components in the y direction are
Let Vx and Vy be the x-component and y-component of the required vector V, respectively.
Given, sum of all four vectors should be zero.
therefore, sum of their components in the x direction is zero
therefore, sum of their components in the y direction is zero
Magnitude of the vector V is
Angle vector V makes with the negative x-axis
therefore, angle of vector V is
Therefore, the fourth vector is
