Analytical-Method

The document discusses the analytical method for adding vectors. It involves: 1) Resolving vectors into their x and y components using trigonometric identities and Pythagorean theorem. 2) The x and y components are the projections of the vector onto the x and y axes. 3) Vectors can then be added by adding their corresponding x and y components. The direction and magnitude of the resulting vector can be determined from these. Examples demonstrate finding components and adding vectors.

Analytical Method

• To get the sum of vector quantities that are oriented


in the same direction, get the algebraic sum of the
magnitudes.
• When two or more vector quantities are oriented in
different directions, each vector must be resolved
to its components. Vector components are simply
projections of the vector in the x- and y-axes.

Analytical Method
Consider the figure where A is directed 8 km 30⁰ north
of east.
• The projection of A along
the x-axis is called the x-
component ().
