Physics 1: Vectors

Draw the vector and find the X and Y components.

A\vec{A} = 8m[E 30^\circ N]

Find the X and Y components of the vector

A\vec{A} = 8m[S 40^\circ W]

Given Fx_x = -5 N and Fy_y = +8 N find F\vec{F}

Add the following vectors to find R\vec{R}

R\vec{R} = 5[N] + 7 [E 30 S] + 4 [S 20 W] + 3 [N 60 W]

Subtract the following vectors to find R\vec{R}

R\vec{R} = 6.0 ws\frac{w}{s} [E 30 ^\circ N] - 8.0 ws\frac{w}{s} [S 20 ^\circ W]

A car drives at 8 m/s [E 30 N], turns the corner and travels 5 m/s [E]. What was it's acceleration if this took 2 s?
