Before we deal with D, I'm worried about your answers for C and B …
C = √(7.072 + 7.072) = √(50 + 50) = 10 …
yes 10 is correct, but how did you get it?
And can you please also say how you got B (yes, it's right too), since if you got it the right way, you should know how to get D.
A vector resultant is the sum of two or more vectors. It represents the overall displacement or force of the combined vectors. It can be calculated by adding the x-components and y-components of the individual vectors.
To find the magnitude of a vector resultant, you can use the Pythagorean theorem. First, square the x-component and the y-component of the vector resultant. Then, add the two values together and take the square root of the sum.
A scalar is a quantity that has magnitude, or size, but no direction. Examples of scalars include time, mass, and temperature. A vector, on the other hand, has both magnitude and direction. Examples of vectors include displacement, velocity, and force.
Yes, vectors can be added or subtracted. When adding or subtracting vectors, you must take into account their direction and magnitude. You can add or subtract vectors by using the head-to-tail or parallelogram method.
Vectors are used in many aspects of our daily lives. They are used in navigation systems, such as GPS, to determine direction and distance. Vectors are also used in physics to represent forces and motion. In engineering, vectors are used to design structures and machines to withstand different forces and loads.
