Express the vector with initial point Pand terminal point Qin component form.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The vector with initial point $P (2, 1)$ and terminal point $Q (5, 4)$ in component form is $<3, 3>$

Step by step solution

Step 1. Identifying the coordinates of the points.

Using Component form formula $<x_{1}, y_{1}>, <x_{2}, y_{2}> = <x_{2} - x_{1}, y_{2} - y_{1}>$

Step 2. Determining the component form.

The component form of the vector is given as

$= <5 - 2, 4 - 1>$

$= <3, 3>$

Magnitude and Direction of a Vector

Find the magnitude and direction (in degrees) of the vector.

$v = ⟨ 40, 9 ⟩$

The forces $F_{1}, F_{2}, F_{3} . . . . . . . F_{n}$ acting at the same point Pare said to be in equilibrium if theresultant force is zero,

a) the resultant forces acting at P, and.

b) the additional force

required (if any) for the forces to be in equilibrium.

$F_{1} = <2, 5>, F_{2} = <3, - 8>$

Let $u = <a_{1}, a_{2}>$ and $v = <b_{1}, b_{2}>$ be nonzero vectors in the

plane, and let $θ$ be the angle between them.

a) The dot product of u and v is defined by u.v = ____________

The dot product of two vectors is a _______________, not a vector.

a) The length of a vector $w = <a_{1}, a_{2}>$ is |w| = ________,

so the length of the vector u in Figure II is

|u| = __________ .

b) If we know the length |w| and direction $θ$ of a vector w,

then we can express the vector in component form as

w = _________,__________.
