Three displacements are A = 200 m due south, B %3D 0 m due west, and C = 150 m at 30.0° cast of north. %3D Construct a separate diagram for each of the following possible ways of adding these vectors: R = A +B - č, Explain what R = B + C + A; R =C + B + A %3D you can conclude from comparing the diagrams.

a) The diagrams can be seen in the picture attached

(b) By comparing the diagrams we can conclude that the resultant R₁ = R₂ = R₃

Further explanation

Vector is quantity that has magnitude and direction.

One example of a vector is acceleration.

Acceleration is rate of change of velocity.

a = acceleration ( m/s² )

v = final velocity ( m/s )

u = initial velocity ( m/s )

t = time taken ( s )

d = distance ( m )

Let us now tackle the problem !

This problem is about Vector and Vector Diagram.

Given:

Vector A = -200 j

Vector B = -250 i

Vector C = (150 sin 30.0°) i + (150 cos 30.0°) j = 75 i + 75√3 j

Unknown:

R₁ = A + B + C = ?

R₂ = B + C + A = ?

R₃ = C + B + A = ?

Solution:

R₁ = A + B + C  = (-200 j) + (-250 i) + (75 i + 75√3 j)

R₁ = -175i + (75√3 - 200)j

R₂ = B + C + A = (-250 i) + (75 i + 75√3 j) + (-200 j)

R₂ = -175i + (75√3 - 200)j

R₃ = C + B + A  = (75 i + 75√3 j) + (-250 i) + (-200 j)

R₃ = -175i + (75√3 - 200)j

From the results above, it can be concluded that the resultants above produce the same results. This can be confirmed from the diagrams in the attachment.

Explanation:

conservation of mass

mass before something happens = mass afterwards
