Show that  |
| |
| 18. |
Planes A, B, and C leave airport O at 8 A.M., plane A traveling N E at 600 kilometers per hour, plane B traveling due |
| |
north at 300 kilometers per hour, and plane C traveling southwest at 400 kilometers per hour. On paper or in drawing software, locate a point |
| |
representing the airport O. Through this point draw lines representing an east-west direction and a north-south direction, then sketch vectors |
| |
indicating the change in position of each of the first planes after the first hour of flight. Show correct scale by using 1 cm to represent 100 kilometers. |
Adding Vectors
| 1. |
Two forces, one of 300 N and the other of 200 N, act at a point on a body, and are perpendicular to each other. |
| |
Construct (on paper or using software) the vector representing the sum of the two forces. |
| 2. |
Construct the vector representing the sum of the two forces in Exercise 1 when the forces form an angle of  |
| |
with each other. |
| 3. |
Two forces, one of 100 Newtons and one of 175 Newtons, act at a point on a body, and form an angle of |
| |
with each other. Construct the vector that represents the resultant of the two forces. |
