The VECTOR is a light all terrain tactical vehicle in service with the Royal Netherlands Army and Navy. The vehicle is produced by Dutch defense contractor Defenture.
The problem and solution is,
However, I am confused how they get ##\vec a = (1, 2)## (I convert from column vector to coordinate form of vector). I got ##\vec a = (a_1, a_2) = (a_1, 2a_1) = a_1(1, 2)## however, why did they eliminate the constant ##a_1##?
Thanks for any help!
O level question; i used similarity would appreciate an easier approach for 2 marks.
The ms solution (approach) is not clear to me. Here it is;
My approach; using similarity
Any insight welcome its a 2 mark question- cannot seem to find easier way though i suspect reflection.

I first calculated the time using y = (viy)(t) + 0.5gt^2 where y is the vertical displacement which is 0 for the ball landing back on the ground, viy is the initial vertical velocity ie 16.55m/s and g = -9.8m/s}^2. I get 2 values for t, t=0 and t= 3.377s. Then using the equation x = (vix)(t) =...

Ok. My problem is what angle to choose when adding vector. Statement does not tell me which one is the "first" force vector. So, when using the law of sine formula I get two results.
First, using cosine to get the magnitude:
$$\vec c = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2 +2ab\cos\theta},$$
$$\vec c = \sqrt{15^2 +...
How do you derive the position vector in a general local basis?
For example, in spherical coordinates, it's ##\vec r =r \hat {\mathbf e_r}##, not an expression that involves that involves the vectors ## {\hat {\mathbf e_{\theta}}}## and ## \hat {{\mathbf e_{\phi}}}##. But how would you show this?
Can a vector subspace have the same dimension as the space it is part of?
If so, can such a subspace have a Cartesian equation?
if so, can you give an example.
Thanks in advance;
All I know is that e subscript r must be a vector cos the book says so, but what does it mean, is it, a konstant in vector form? I'm confused by it (page one, chapter one spacetime and geometry by SeanCaroll)
Help is appreciated
Edit. Is vector r describing the curvature that takes place ?
I am extremely confused with how to represent vectors that do not start at the origin in spherical coordinate system. If they did start at the origin, the vector to any point is simply ##r\pmb{\hat{r}}##; however, what if it does not start at the origin as in the question above? One thing I can...

So I do know that there does exist a generalization of the cross product (the exterior product), but this question does not concern that (and I would prefer it not )

I am not sure why latex is not rendering, but here is the question.

So i found the magnitude which is
(-1)^2 + (-2)^2 = P^2 =
Sqrt(5)
Then I used the inverse tan function to find the angle (direction)
theta = arctan (-2/-1) = 63.8 degrees
Im confused with my 63.8 degrees since the angle in the graph looks greater than 63.4 degrees
I subtracted 180 by 63.8 and...
So for 1 I know it's Yes you can, but I don't understand what uniquely means here so I can't say if it's uniquely or not.
for 2 I've never seen a 2-D vector broken into 3 reference axies so I guess No?
What really confuse me is the answers which goes 1-C and 4-A
I don't get what is the difference when I am asked to re-solve components and find projections to axes other than the Y and X
I know that the parallelogram works for the first one and the dot product for the second but what's the diffrence!

At first I thought that this force vector ## \vec F = 3 \hat x + 2 \hat y ## is a function of ## x ## and ## y ##, which is to say that its magnitude and direction vary with the x and y positions, but this is not so, right? It's just a force with a constant magnitude and direction.
And I can...
Good Morning
(And apologies if this is not the right forum -- it is not a homework problem.)
On the one hand, a vector is an arrow and a tail: it has magnitude and direction. It is used to describe direction, forces, acceleration, etc.
