Resultant vectors
1) [br]a) Make red vector [math]v=\binom{5}{2}[/math] and green vector [math]w=\binom{-1}{3}[/math][br]b)Make red vector [math]v_1=v[/math] and green vector [math]w_1=w[/math] by clicking on and dragging endpoints.[br][br]Note v and w are vectors equal to [math]v_1[/math] and [math]w_1[/math] respectively , they are parallel and have same magnitude.[br][br]c) place [math]v_1[/math] and [math]w_1[/math] together "nose to tail", endpoint of [math]v_1[/math] to start point of [math]w_1[/math] to connect them [br]c) Place end points of blue vector [math]u[/math] so that [math]u=[/math] [math]v_1[/math] + [math]w_1[/math][br]d) By inspecting diagram, state the components of [math]u[/math][br]e) Check/Justify your answer to d) by writing out vector addition [br]f) Readjust v1 = 2v and w1 =-w to show u=2v - w[br]
