For the vectors = (2.2 m) + (4.3 m), and = (5.5 m) - (2.9 m), give the x and y components, magnitudes, and directions of the following vector operations.
(a) +
______ (x component)
______ (y component)
______ (magnitude)
______ ° (direction from the positive x axis)
(b) -
______ (x component)
______ (y component)
______ (magnitude)
______ ° (direction from the positive x axis)
Summary: the direction of a vector from x axis is given by the tan(theta)= ratio of y component to the x component.
