Vector A has a magnitude of 6.0 m and points 30° north of east. Vector B has a magnitude of 4.0 m and points 30° west of north. The resultant vector A + B is given by:

(a) 9.8 m at an angle of 26° north of east,

(b) 3.3 m at an angle of 26° north of east,

(c) 7.2 m at an angle of 26° east of north,

(d) 3.3 m at an angle of 64° east of north or

(e) 9.8 m at an angle of 64° east of north

The resultant vector A + B is given by 7.2 m at an angle of 26° east of north,

C

Explanation:

Resolving the vectors to vertical and horizontal component;

Vertical;

Vector A = 6sin30

Vector B = 4sin60

Resultant vertical = 6sin30 + 4sin60 = 6.464m

Horizontal;

Vector A = 6cos30

Vector B = -4cos60

Resultant horizontal = 6cos30 - 4cos60 = 3.196m

Resultant R = √(6.464^2 + 3.196^2) = 7.2m

Tanθ = 6.464/3.196

θ = taninverse (6.464/3.196) BN

θ = 64° north of East.

Or

26° east of north

The resultant vector A + B is given by 7.2 m at an angle of 26° east of north,

The resultant vector A + B is given by 7.2 m at an angle of 26° east of north. Hence, option (c) is correct.

Given data:

The magnitude of vector A is, A = 6.0 m.

The direction of vector A is, 30° north of east.

The magnitude of vector B is, B = 4.0 m.

The direction of vector B is, 30° west of north.

The quantity having both the magnitude as well as the magnitude are known as vector quantities.

Resolving the vectors to vertical and horizontal component;

Along the Vertical direction;

Vector A = 6sin30

Vector B = 4sin60

Resultant vertical vector = 6sin30 + 4sin60 = 6.464 m

Along the Horizontal direction;

Vector A = 6cos30

Vector B = -4cos60

Resultant horizontal vector = 6cos30 - 4cos60 = 3.196 m

Now, the resultant vector is calculated as,

And the resultant direction of vectors is,

( North of East)

θ = 64° north of East.

Or

26° east of north

Thus, we can conclude that the  resultant vector A + B is given by 7.2 m at an angle of 26° east of north. Hence, option (c) is correct.

option number c is the right answer.

it's when something is going so fast it makes a loud noise, breaking the sound barrier, for example: a jet makes a loud noise, not only cause of the jet but because they reached a point where they went so fast that you can year the noise from various parts, kinda like a police car, lets say the car was going   so fast that you hear the siren of the cop car right next to you, but the car is probably a mile a way, it's cos the siren was next to you a few seconds if you understand me
