Question

A 2 row table with 7 columns. The first row is labeled Component with entries A Subscript x Baseline, A Subscript y Baseline, B Subscript x Baseline, B Subscript y Baseline, C Subscript x Baseline, C Subscript y Baseline. The second row is labeled Magnitude in kilometers with entries 1.6, 2.8, 3.9, 6.4, 1.2, 0.7. Three vectors are drawn on the x y plane. Vector A is drawn southwest, vector B northeast, and vector C southeast.
The image shows the displacement of a motorboat. The data table shows the magnitudes of the components of each displacement vector.

What is the value of Rx?

km

What is the value of Ry?

km

Answer 1

Rx = -1.6 + 3.9 + 1.2 = 3.5 km

Ry = -2.8 + 6.4 - 0.7 = 2.9 km
