Step 3.To get the magnitude
of the resultant, use the Pythagorean theorem:
Step 4.To get the direction of the resultant:
The following example illustrates this technique for adding vectors using perpendicular components.
Adding vectors using analytical methods
Add the vector
to the vector
shown in
[link] , using perpendicular components along the
x - and
y -axes. The
x - and
y -axes are along the east–west and north–south directions, respectively. Vector
represents the first leg of a walk in which a person walks
in a direction
north of east. Vector
represents the second leg, a displacement of
in a direction
north of east.
Strategy
The components of
and
along the
x - and
y -axes represent walking due east and due north to get to the same ending point. Once found, they are combined to produce the resultant.
Solution
Following the method outlined above, we first find the components of
and
along the
x - and
y -axes. Note that
,
,
, and
.
We find the
x -components by using
, which gives
and
Similarly, the
y -components are found using
:
and
The
x - and
y -components of the resultant are thus
and
Now we can find the magnitude of the resultant by using the Pythagorean theorem:
so that
Finally, we find the direction of the resultant:
Thus,
Discussion
This example illustrates the addition of vectors using perpendicular components. Vector subtraction using perpendicular components is very similar—it is just the addition of a negative vector.
Subtraction of vectors is accomplished by the addition of a negative vector. That is,
. Thus,
the method for the subtraction of vectors using perpendicular components is identical to that for addition . The components of
are the negatives of the components of
. The
x - and
y -components of the resultant
are thus
and
and the rest of the method outlined above is identical to that for addition. (See
[link] .)
Analyzing vectors using perpendicular components is very useful in many areas of physics, because perpendicular quantities are often independent of one another. The next module,
Projectile Motion , is one of many in which using perpendicular components helps make the picture clear and simplifies the physics.
is it possible to leave every good at the same level

I don't think so. because check it, if the demand for chicken increases, people will no longer consume fish like they used to causing a fall in the demand for fish

is not really possible to let the value of a goods to be same at the same time.....

Suppose the inflation rate is 6%, does it mean that all the goods you purchase will cost
6% more than previous year? Provide with reasoning.
Not necessarily. To measure the inflation rate economists normally use an averaged price index of a basket of certain goods. So if you purchase goods included in the basket, you will notice that you pay 6% more, otherwise not necessarily.
Good day
How do I calculate this question: C= 100+5yd G= 2000 T= 2000 I(planned)=200.
Suppose the actual output is 3000. What is the level of planned expenditures at this level of output?

money as unit of account means what?
Kalombe
A unit of account is something that can be used to value goods and services and make calculations

all of you please speak in English I can't understand you're language

I want to know how can we define macroeconomics in one line
Muhammad
it must be .9 or 0.9
no Mpc is greater than 1
Y=100+.9Y+50
Y-.9Y=150
0.1Y/0.1=150/0.1
Y=1500

Mercy is it clear?😋

hi can someone help me on this question
If a negative shocks shifts the IS curve to the left, what type of policy do you suggest so as to stabilize the level of output?
discuss your answer using appropriate graph.
