Hi!
Make use of vector addition - by making use of the fact that the net change in the ##x##-direction is independent of the change in the ##y##-direction.

Before you attempt to draw the vectors, you need to figure out the values of bx and cy because you don't know how big they are and whether they are positive or negative. Do you know how to answer parts (a) and (b) without drawing a vector diagram? @LemmeThink gave you a hint.

1. What are vectors and how are they used in science?
Vectors are quantities that have both magnitude and direction. In science, they are used to represent physical quantities such as velocity, force, and acceleration. They are essential in describing and predicting the motion and behavior of objects in the natural world.
2. How do you add and subtract vectors?
To add or subtract vectors, you must first break them down into their components. Then, add or subtract the corresponding components to get the resulting vector. This can be done graphically or using mathematical equations.
3. Can vectors be multiplied?
Yes, vectors can be multiplied in two ways - scalar multiplication and vector multiplication. Scalar multiplication results in a vector with a magnitude that is a multiple of the original vector. Vector multiplication, also known as the dot product or cross product, results in a scalar or a vector, respectively.
4. How are vectors used in vector calculus?
Vector calculus is a branch of mathematics that deals with the differentiation and integration of vector fields. It is used to solve problems in physics and engineering, such as calculating the work done by a force or finding the velocity of a moving object.
5. Can vectors be used in other fields besides science?
Yes, vectors have applications in many fields, including mathematics, engineering, economics, and computer science. They are used to represent and analyze complex systems and phenomena, making them a versatile tool in problem-solving and decision-making processes.
