Homework Statement
Suppose the astronaut has a weight on Earth of 190 lbs and is wearing a space suit that weighs an additional 180 lbs on Earth. What is the y-component of the force in Newtons on the astronaut and his space suit during a jump on the Moon? Show your calculation. Does the...
Actually, I realized I had to find the corresponding unit vectors given for the vectors originally stated in the problem.
To find the unit vectors, I took the first vector (5.00i, 11.0j) and did the following:
5/ square root of 5^2+11^2i, and 11/square root of 5^2 +11^2j, which gave me the...
Okay, so I got the sum of both of the vectors to be (7.00i, 10.00j). I took the square root of 7^2+ 10^2, which = 12.2
Now, to get the resulting vector, I used (7.00/12.2i, 10.0/12.2j) to get (.57i, .82j). Where did I go wrong?
Here's the problem I've been having difficulty with:
Find a vector with a magnitude of 1.00 that bisects the angle between the vectors 5.00i + 11.0j and 2.00i − 1.00j. Give your answer in rectangular coordinates.
Someone else had posted this same question before, but the answer that was...
