Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let us analyze the problem and work step by step to solve it.
1°) Name the vectors:
We will identify vectors according to the figure provided:
a) Equal to :
A vector is equal to if it has the same magnitude, direction, and sense as .
Answer: The vector equal to is .
b) Opposite sense of :
A vector is opposite to if it has the same magnitude and direction, but opposite sense.
Answer: The vector opposite to is .
c) Same magnitude as :
A vector with the same magnitude as should have the same length but can have any direction or sense.
Answer: The vector with the same magnitude as is .
d) Same direction as :
A vector with the same direction as can have any magnitude and the same sense or opposite.
Answer: The vectors with the same direction as are and .
2°) Construct the vectors:
a) opposite to :
The vector opposite to should be drawn with the same magnitude and direction as , but the sense reversed. Place accordingly.
b) equal to :
To construct , ensure it has the same magnitude, direction, and sense as .
c) having the same magnitude as , the same direction as , and the opposite sense of :
- The magnitude must match .
- The direction should align with .
- The sense should be opposite to .
Draw to satisfy all these properties.
