Relative to the starting point, the coordinates of the end point are (10-7, 5) or (3, 5)

So the magnitude of the resultant vector is sqrt(32 + 52) = sqrt(9 + 25) = sqrt(34) = approx 5.83 km.

The bearing (measured from North) is arctan(3/5) = arctan(0.6) = 031 degrees.

A sailboat sails 230 km E and then 340 km NE . Determine its resultant vector?

A = 230kmB = 340kmR = ?First, find the horizontal and vertical components of A& B.Ay = 0kmAx= 230kmNote: The angle, theta, is 45°, since NE is 45° from horizontal.By = 340km * sin(45°) = 240.42kmBx = 340km * cos(45°) = 240.42kmNow, add the respective components to get the Rcomponents.Ry = Ay + By = 0km + 240.42km = 240.42kmRx = Ax + Bx = 230km + 240.42km = 470.42kmFinally, use the Pythagorean theorem to get R.R = sqrt(Rx2 + Ry2) = 528.29kmTherefore, the resultant vector, R, is 528.29km.

Is km s a vector quantity?

km/s can be either a vector or a scalar quantity. It is a unit of speed, which is scalar, but if this speed is in a specific direction, thereby becoming velocity, it is vector.


What is the resultant velocity of an airplane the normally flies 200 km per hour if it encounters a 50 km per hour tailwind?

If the airspeed is maintained at 200 km/hour with a 50 km/hour tailwind, then the speed over ground will be 250 km/hour (resultant velocity).

What is my result if i calculate the magnitude of the resultant of a pair of 84 km h velocity vectors that are at right angles to each other?

If two vectors with equal magnitudes 'M' have perpendicular directions, then the resultant ismidway between them ... 45 degrees from each ... and the magnitude of the resultant isM sqrt(2).84 km/hr North + 84 km/hr East = 84 sqrt(2) = 118.794 km/hr Northeast (rounded).
