Question #b8942 Physics 2D Motion Vector Operations 1 Answer P dilip_k Oct 13, 2016 Given #vec(X)+vec(Y)=vec(R)# So #vec(X)+vec(Y)+vec(Z)=vec(R)+vec(Z)# Ler the angle between #vec(Z) and vec(R)# be #theta=170^@# Also given #abs(vec(Z))=13.5N and abs(vec(R))=19.3N# Now #abs(vec(X)+vec(Y)+vec(Z))= abs(vec(Z)+vec(R)) # #=sqrt(abs(vec(Z))^2+ abs(vec(R))^2+2abs(vec(Z))*abs(vec(R))costheta)# #=sqrt((13.5)^2+ (19.3)^2+2*13.5*(19.3)*cos170)# #=6.45N# Answer link Related questions What are vectors used for?
