Vectors are used in computer graphics to calculate the lengths of shadows over flat surfaces. The length of an object can sometimes be represented by a vector a If a single light source is shining down on the object, then the length of its shadow on the ground will be equal to the absolute value of the component of the vector a along the direction of the ground, as shown in the figure. Compute the length of the shadow for the specified vector a if the ground is level. (Round ygur answer to one decimal place.) a = (1.3, 8.9)
A vector is described. Express the vector in terms of i and j. A quarterback releases a football with a speed of 44 feet per second at an angle of 60° with the horizontal. V = (Simplify your answer. Type an exact answer, using radicals as needed. Use integers or fractions for any numbers ai + bj. Rationalize all denominators.)
