Q:

When vector vector A is added to vector Vector B, the resultant is vector vector R such that vector R is equal to vector A plus vector B. This resultant vector has components vector R sub x is equal to vector A sub x plus vector B sub x and vector R sub y is equal to vector A sub y plus vector B sub y. What is the y-component of the resultant vector vector R is equal to vector A plus vector B when you add vector A and Vector B?

A:
Answer:Step-by-step explanation:We have any vector in two dimension will have both vertical and horizontal components.When two vectors say [tex]A= xi+yj and\\B = zi+wj[/tex]are added we get resultant as [tex]R=(x+z)i+(y+w)j[/tex]In other words when A has x component as x and y component as y, and similarly when B has x component as z and y component as wthe sum will have horizontal component as x+z and vertical component as y+wThus we have y component of the resultant vector R = y component of A + y component of B.
