A ship sails 16 km in a direction 57 degrees North of
East. Represent this motion with the vector A.
Then it sails 14 km in a direction 33 degrees South of
East. Represent this motion with the vector B.
Consider the motion on an x-y plane with East along the x-axis.
Determine the x and y components of the vectors A and B
By = ___ km
b) Let the vector C be the sum of A and B. Calculate the x and y
components of C.
Cx = __ km,
Cy = __ km
(c) How far is the ship from its starting point?
(d) In which direction is the ship, relative to the x-axis?
A ship sails 16 km in a direction 57 degrees North of East. Represent this motion with the vector A. Then it sails 14 k
