Components of a vector

Graphical method
The three finalist in a contest are brought to the
center of a large flat place. Each is given a
meter stick, compass, a calculator and shovel.
The following are the displacements of the
contestant:
30 m, 45 N of E
10 m, 45 W of N
10 m, straight south.
The three displacement lead to the point where
she buried the stick.
What is the displacement of the three
contestant? And where it is situated?

Ana walks going to charlies house.


She traveled 75m, 35 N of E to the
market, from the market to the
church she traveled 50 m, 50 S of W
and finally 60 m, 45 N of W. what is
the displacement of anas journey to
charlies house? And what direction
is charlies house?

Compute the x and y of each of the


vectors
A = 12.0 m , 37.0 E of N
B = 15.0 m , 40.0 S of E
C = 6.0 m , 60.0 S of W

Compute the x and y component of


each of the vectors
A = 32.0 m , 45.0 S of W
B = 13.0 m , 10.0 S of E
C = 12.0 m , 50.0 N of W

A = 37.0 m , 45.0 N of W
B = 15.0 m , 35.0 S of E
C = 25.0 m West
