Questions and Answers

Which method of adding vectors involves using the Pythagorean Theorem?

Trigonometry Method (correct)

Component Method

Parallelogram Method

Polygon Method

What is the formula for finding the magnitude of the resultant vector using the components Rx and Ry?

Ry = (Rx)^2 + (Ry)^2 (correct)

Rx = Ax + Bx + Cx + ...

Ry = Rx + Ry

Ry = Ay + By + Cx + ...

Study Notes

Vector Addition Methods

The component method involves using the Pythagorean Theorem to add vectors.

Component Method Formula

The formula for finding the magnitude of the resultant vector using the components Rx and Ry is: √(Rx² + Ry²)

Angle θ Quadrant

The angle θ can be situated in any quadrant depending on the directions of the total components in x and y.

Purpose of Component Method

The purpose of the component method is to add vectors by breaking them down into their horizontal and vertical components.

Parallelogram Method

The parallelogram method involves using the diagonal line of the parallelogram as the resultant vector when adding vectors.
