Tactics Box 3.1 Determining the Components of a Vector TACTICS BOx 3.1 Determining the components of a vector 1. The absolute value |A of the x component A is the magnitude of the component vector A 2. The sign of A is positive if A, points in the positive x direction; it is negative if A, points in the negative x direction 3. The y component Ay is determined similarly Learning Goal e x component Az is the magnitude of the component vec To practice Tactics Box 3.1 Determining the Components of a Vector When a vector A is decomposed into component vectors A and Ay parallel to the coordinate axes, we can describe each component vector with a single number (a scalar) called the component. This tactics box describes how to determine the x component and y component of vector A, denoted A, and A, Part A What is the magnitude of the component vector A shown in the figure? (Figure 1) Express your answer in meters to one significant figure Figure 1 of 1 Submit My Answers Give Up Part B What is the sign of the y component Ay of vector A shown in the figure? (Figure 1) O positive O negative Submit My Answers Give Up -4 Part C This question will be shown after you complete previous question(s)

Explanation / Answer

Here ,

part A) from the graph , we can observe that

length of Ax = 8 - 3

langth of Ax = 5 m

magnitude if Ax is 5 m

part b)

as Ay points in negative direction

Ay is negative
