Summary of "Suma de vectores con coordenadas"

This video explains how to find the magnitude and direction of the Resultant vector from the sum of three vectors given by their coordinates, using the Analytical method for Vector addition.

Main Ideas and Concepts

Analytical method for Vector addition: Adding vectors by their components rather than graphically.
Vector decomposition: Breaking vectors into their x and y components (if not already given).
Summation of components: Adding all x-components together and all y-components together to get the Resultant vector components.
Calculation of magnitude: Using the Pythagorean theorem on the Resultant vector components.
Calculation of direction: Finding the angle the Resultant vector makes with the x-axis using the Inverse tangent function.
Quadrant determination: Understanding in which Quadrant the Resultant vector lies based on the signs of its components.

Detailed Methodology / Step-by-Step Instructions

Decompose vectors into components - Identify the x and y components of each vector. - In this example, vectors are already given in component form: - Vector A: (12, 22) - Vector B: (7, 18) - Vector C: (12, 2)
Sum the components - Add all x-components: \( R_x = 12 + 7 + 12 = 31 \) - Add all y-components: \( R_y = 22 + 18 + 2 = 42 \)
Calculate the magnitude of the Resultant vector - Use the formula:
```
R = \sqrt{R_x^2 + R_y^2} = \sqrt{31^2 + 42^2} = 52.20
```
Calculate the direction (angle) of the Resultant vector - Use the Inverse tangent function:
```
θ = \tan^{-1} \left(\frac{R_y}{R_x}\right) = \tan^{-1} \left(\frac{42}{31}\right) = 53.56°
```
- This angle is measured from the positive x-axis.
Interpret the Quadrant - Since all components are positive, the Resultant vector lies in the first Quadrant (both x and y positive). - The angle found is consistent with this Quadrant (between 0° and 90°).
