Question

Components of Vectors Shown is a 10 by 10 grid, with coordinate axes x andy (Figure 1). The grid runs from -5 to 5 on both axes. Drawn on this Part A grid are four vectors, labeled A through D. This problem will ask you various questions about these vectors. All answers should be in decimal notation, unless otherwise specified. What is the x component of A? Express your answer to two significant figures. View Available Hint(s) Figure 1 of 1 Submit Part B What is the y component of A? Express your answer to the nearest integer x axis

Explanation / Answer

A)

tip of A is at (2.5, 3)

So, x component of A = 2.5

Answer: 2.5

B)

tip of A is at (2.5, 3)

So, y component of A = 3

Answer: 3

C)

tip of B is at (2, -3)

So, y component of B = -3

Answer: -3

D)

C is not starting at origin

So, vector C = end point - start point

= (-3,-2) - (-1, -1)

= (-3+1, -2+1)

= (-2, -1)

So, x component of C = -2

Answer: -2

E)

tip of B is at (2, -3)

So,

Bx = 2

By = -3

Answer: 2, -3
