Homework Statement



the displacement vector A has scalr omponents of Ax= 80.0 m and Ay= 60.0 m. the displacement vector B has a scalr component Bx= 60.0 m and a magnitude of B=75.0m. The displacement vecto C has a magnitude of C= 100.0 m and is directed at an angle of 36.9 degrees above the + x axis. Two of these vectors are equal. determine which two, and support your choice with a calculation.

Homework Equations




The Attempt at a Solution


vector A= 100m
By= 45m
vector A= vector C
