1. (Adapted from an old exam) The picture below shows two vectors, A and B, defined in relation to a standard x-y coordinate system. A points straight down (in the -y direction), while B points up and to the left, making a 30° angle with the positive y axis. All parts of this problem relate to these same vectors A and B. → B 30.0 y X a) In the picture above, the vector A has length 1.00 m, and the vector B has length 1.50 m. Find the x and y components of A and B. Write out both vectors in unit vector notation (i.e., using the unit vectors î, ĵ, and k as needed).
