- Figure 1.19 shows two vectors lying in the xy-plane. Determine the signs of the x- and y-components of A, B, and A+B.arrow_forwardTwo points in the xy plane have Cartesian coordinates (2.00, 4.00) m and (3.00, 3.00) m. Determine (a) the distance between these points and (b) their polar coordinates.arrow_forwardPerform the following arithmetic operations, keeping the correct number of significant figures in your answer. a. The product 56.2 0.154 b. The sum 9.8 + 43.4 + 124 c. The quotient 81.340/arrow_forward
- For what values of a are the vectors A = 2ai − 2j + ak and B = ai + 2aj + 2k perpendicular?arrow_forwardIn an attempt to escape a desert island, a castaway builds a raft and sets out to sea. The wind shifts a great deal during the day and he is blown along the following directions: 2.50 km and 45.0 north of west, then 4.70 km and 60.0 south of east, then 1.30 km and 25.0 south of west, then 5.10 km straight east, then 1.70 km and 5.00 east of north, then 7.20 km and 55.0 south of west, and finally 2.80 km and 10.0 north of east. Use a graphical method to find the castaway’s final position relative to the island.arrow_forwardThe scalar product A · B of the two vectors A = 2i + 3j and B = i- 2j is * O 8 k O -4 O -4 k O 2i - 6jarrow_forward
