    Adding vectors algebraically to find displacement

    oh okay! that's where that 110 came from. i was trying to figure out the angle so i decided to try the interior angle of ΔABC i had a very similar problem there i found the interior angle like that and coincidently the resultant was extremely close either way. I have now corrected both and i...

    Adding vectors algebraically to find displacement

    thank you so much. i understand that now. it will help me on a previos one i thought i had right too. vector c is at 0 or 180 degrees isn't it?

    Adding vectors algebraically to find displacement

    thanks for the quick response but I am not quite following you guys. Still new to this. Here is my work, maybe you can show me what i am doing wrong that way. Once i get the right distance i'll have no problem finding the angle. I under stand how to do that part. Ax = A cos(30) = 175km...

    Adding vectors algebraically to find displacement

    Hi everyone, I am taking a physics course this year and I find myself already looking for help unfortunately. I think I understand the basics of adding vectors using Ax = A cosθ , Ay = A sinθ, etc. I am getting confused with the 3rd leg of the trip though. Since it is due west wouldn't that...
