Homework 1: Due Friday 11 January

(This assignment is shorter than most assignments will be.)

Vector Warm-Up Let vector v_1 be a force vector with magnitude 200N pointing due north. Let vector v_2 be a force vector with magnitude 100N pointing 37 degrees south of east. Calculate the following quantities.

1. vec v_3 = vec v_1 + vec v_2
2. vec v_4 = vec v_1 - vec v_2
3. vec v_5 = 3 vec v_1 + 4 vec v_2
4. For each vector (v_3, v_4, v_5), draw a picture illustrating the new vector along with vec v_1 and vec v_2.
