The figure shows three displacement vectors , , and  These vectors are arranged in tail-to-head fashion, and they add together to give a resultant displacement  which lies along the x axis. Note that the vector  is parallel to the x axis.

Concepts: (i) How is the magnitude of  related to its scalar components A_x and A_y?

(ii) Do any of the vectors in the figure have a zero value for either their x or y components?

(If so, which ones?)

(iii) What does the fact that , , and  add together to give  tell you about the components of these vectors? Calculations: What is the magnitude of the vector  and its directional angle q?
