Math Problem Statement
Solution
From the image, we have two parts to the problem, which involve vector analysis.
First part (5.a):
Given and vector such that , we are asked to find .
- Magnitude of :
- Dot product condition:
Let's write and use these conditions to find the components and .
Second part (5.b):
Vectors and have magnitudes and , and the angle between them is . We need to find:
To solve this:
-
Use the formula for the magnitude of the sum of two vectors:
-
The dot product is given by:
I'll proceed with solving these.For the second part (5.b):
- The magnitude of is approximately .
- The dot product is approximately .

Here are 5 related questions to deepen your understanding:
- How do we determine the components of vector from the dot product and magnitude conditions?
- What is the geometric interpretation of the dot product between two vectors?
- How does the angle between two vectors affect their sum?
- How would the result change if the angle between and was different?
- Can you explain the relationship between vector magnitudes and the scalar projection of one vector onto another?
Tip: For vector problems, always check if angles are given in degrees or radians before calculating, especially when using trigonometric functions.
