Suppose (vec{E}=2 vec{A}+3 vec{B}) where vector (vec{A}) has components (A_{x}=5, A_{y}=2) and vector (vec{B}) has components (B_{x}=-3,

Question:

Suppose \(\vec{E}=2 \vec{A}+3 \vec{B}\) where vector \(\vec{A}\) has components

\(A_{x}=5, A_{y}=2\) and vector \(\vec{B}\) has components \(B_{x}=-3, B_{y}=-5\).

a. What are the \(x\) - and \(y\)-components of vector \(\vec{E}\) ?

b. Draw a coordinate system and on it show vectors \(\vec{A}, \vec{B}\), and \(\vec{E}\).

c. What are the magnitude and direction of vector \(\vec{E}\) ?
