- Use the component method to add the vectors A and B shown in Figure P3.9. Both vectors have magnitudes of 3.00 m and vector A makes an angle of = 30.0 with the x axis. Express the resultant A+B in unit-vector notation.arrow_forwardLei B = 5.00 m at 60.0. Let the vector C have the same magnitude as A and a direction angle greater than that of A by 25.0. Let A B = 30.0 m2 and B C = 35.0 m2. Find the magnitude and direction of A.arrow_forwardSuppose you first walk 12.0 m in a direction 20° west of north and then 20.0 m in a direction 40.0° south of west. How far are you from your starting point, and what is the compass direction of a line connecting your starting point to your final position? (If you represent the two legs of the walk as vector displacements A and B, as in Figure 3.56, then this problem finds their sum R=A+B. )arrow_forward
