Practice report 3 - Components of a vector

Moreno Castillo Omar Alejandro | Universidad del Valle de México

Objective:
Validate through simulation the concepts studied of vectors as elements
fundamentals and obtaining a resulting vector by applying the formulas of the vector
components.

Abstract:
The solution to a problem of interconnected vectors is developed, obtaining a resulting
vector and its graph on a vector simulator page; having a comparison of the calculated data
and the data presented by the simulator page.

Introduction: 2. And shows the true shape of these

Within physics vector quantities are vectors in

called vectors, which have characteristics
such as magnitude and direction in space. Results:
These characteristics can be determined
mathematically taking as reference a
spatial coordinate system in which the
position of each point within space is
completely defined.

Background:
The components are x and y with this
formula:
x = llAll Cos θ
y = llAll Sen θ
From this formula we can obtain the fx and
fy, if we solve we can obtain the measure
of the vector and its angle.

Proces:
1. Solve the following vector.

llAll= 6.2 θ=45°

llBll= 3.5 θ=20°
llCll= 6.6 θ=45°

NOTE: I could not put the exact data into

the simulator, leaving approximate data
and as you can see the result is close
despite the variation.

Conclusion:
In the practice carried out, the
identification and correct application of the
formulas provided was achieved, allowing
us to reach the resulting vector derived
from the sum of the 3 vectors of the
problem posed. Due to problems with the
vector simulator page, the result of the
vector is not shown. calculation but it is
close to the one obtained.
