El vector a tiene componented ax= 2.70 cm, ay=2.25 cm; y el vector b tiene componentes bx= 0.30 cm, by= 1.75 cm. Calcular las componentes de la resultante a+b

Explanation:

Given that,

A vector A has x component to be 2.7cm and y component to be 2.25cm

Then,

A = 2.7•i + 2.25•j

A vector B has x component of 0.30cm and y component of 1.75cm

B = 0.3•i + 1.75•j

So, we want to find A+B

Addition of vectors

Generally

(a•i + b•j) + (c•i + d•j) = (a+c)•i +(b+d)•j

Vectors are added component wise.

So,

A + B = (2.7•i + 2.25•j) + (0.3•i + 1.75•j)

A + B = (2.7 + 0.3)•i + (2.25 + 1.75)•j

A + B = 3•i + 4•j

We can also find it magnitude and direction

Generally,

A = a•i + b•j

|A| = √(a²+b²)

<A = arctan(b/a)

So,

|A+B| = √(3²+4²) = √9+16 = √25

|A+B| = 5

And it's direction

< = arctan(y/x)

< = arctan(4/3)

< = 53.13°
