Answer:
Displacement C = (5.00iˆ - 1.00jˆ - 3.00kˆ) m
Magnitude = 5.92 m
Displacement D = (4.00iˆ−11.00jˆ+15.00kˆ) m
Magnitude = 19.03 m
Explanation:
Vector A = (3.00iˆ−4.00jˆ+4.00kˆ) m
Vector B = (2.00iˆ+3.00jˆ−7.00kˆ) m
a) Vector C = A + B = (3.00iˆ−4.00jˆ+4.00kˆ) + (2.00iˆ+3.00jˆ−7.00kˆ)
Vector addition is done component by component, that is, do î component, then j component and k component
C = (5.00iˆ - 1.00jˆ - 3.00kˆ) m
Magnitude of C = √[(5²) + (-1)² + (-3)²] = √(35) = 5.92 m
b) Vector D = 2A - B
D = 2(3.00iˆ−4.00jˆ+4.00kˆ) - (2.00iˆ+3.00jˆ−7.00kˆ) = (6.00iˆ−8.00jˆ+8.00kˆ) - (2.00iˆ+3.00jˆ−7.00kˆ) = (4.00iˆ−11.00jˆ+15.00kˆ)
Magnitude of D = √[(4²) + (-11)² + (15)²] = √(362) = 19.03 m
