Vector Addition and Subtraction: Analytical Methods ** Find the total net displacement of an object which experiences the following series of displacements: 2.15 km 45.0° north of west; then 4.95 km 60.0° south of east; then 1.30 km 25.0° south of west; then 5.40 km straight east; and finally 1.70 km 5.00° east of north. Part 1 + What is the east-west component of the displacement? (Define the positive direction to be east.) Part 2 + What is the north-south component of the displacement? (Define the positive direction to be north.)

Help please ! if you can show a drawing along with the calculations that would really help me understand, thanks ! Use the component method of vector addition to obtain the direction of the sum of the two displacement vectors: A: 56km, west B: 40km, south of east
#1 Consider two vectors: E1 with magnitude 7 N/C and at an angle of 20 degrees above the positive xdirection, and E2 with magnitude 5 N/C and at an angle of 30 degrees to the left of the positive ydirection. (a) Visualizing vector sums: Draw a vector sum diagram illustrating the sum EN = E1 + E2 andanother of the vector difference E1 = EN − E2. Make sure to label your arrows. Please makethe diagram as close to scale as possible (use a ruler to measure, or use a program that lets youdraw accurately.) (b) Interpreting vector diagrams: From the diagram, should the magnitude of the sum be larger orsmaller than 7 N/C? From the diagram, predict the general direction of the sum, within 1/8 ofa circle (for instance, between 0 and 45 degrees above the x axis, etc.) Note, this is one goodway to check your own answers when working with vectors. (c) Calculating vector components and sums: Compute the components and then the magnitude anddirection of the sum. For direction, we want the angle…
An adventurous dog strays from home, runs three blocks east, two blocks north, and one block east, one block north, and two blocks west. Assuming that each block is about a 100 yd, use the analytical method to find the dog’s net displacement vector, its magnitude, and its direction. Assume the +x-axis is to the east. How would your answer be affected if each block was about 100 m?
Vector D = -A - B + C, Ax = 12, Ay = -9, Bx =9 and C has a magnitude of 25 and points at 130. Use the analytical component method to calculate Dx, Dy, D and the angle of D. On a coordinate system draw A, B, C and then draw them in the graphical method to get D and and approximate angle of D
The summit of a mountain, 2700 mm above base camp, is measured on a map to be 4480 mm horizontally from the camp in a direction 30.4 ∘∘ west of north. Choose the x-axis east, y-axis north, and z-axis up. Part A What are the components of the displacement vector from camp to summit?Enter your answers numerically separated by commas. Part B What is its magnitude?
On the map, let the +x-axis point east and the +y-axis north. An airplane flies at 880 km/h northwestward direction (i.e., midway between north and west). Can you help me visualize the components of the first velocity, and when the plane flies due south at the same velocity. I understand the answer will be -622.25 for the run, meaning 880*cos(45) for x -axis; the y axis north is 880*sin(45) resulting in 622.5 Please help me visualize the first and second velocity when the plane flies due south at the same velocity? Help me to visualize where one of the velocities due south is zero, and the other is whatever it is. I am afraid I can properly visualize or understand in simple terms what is asked. My point can you help to understand the right angle theorem to the angle.
Two Part question please help solve. A). A vector has a magnitude of 12 units and a direction of 20 degrees (relative to the x-axis). Find the x-component of the vector (or, in other words, how far to the right does the vector take you?) B). A vector has a magnitude of 20 units and a direction of 65 degrees (relative to the x-axis). Find the y-component of the vector (or, in other words, how far up does the vector take you?)
Topic: Vector 1. A spelunker is surveying a cave. She follows a passage 180 m straight west, then210 m in a direction east of south, and then 280 m at east of north. After a fourth unmeasured displacement, she finds herself back where she started. ...Use a scale drawing to determine the magnitude and direction of the fourth displacement.
