Vector Worksheet Answers

These are the final answers.  All of these (especially the problems on the back of the worksheet) can be greatly influenced by one incorrectly converted angle or a calculator that is in radians instead of degrees.  Come in and check with me if you are having trouble getting these answers and I should be able to help you figure out where you went wrong.  Also, remember that slight variations in answers may occur if you round as you go.  

1.  12 km at 31 degrees W of  N
2.  31 km/h at 15 degrees E of S
3.  412.3 N at 14.04 degrees North of Down
4.  x = 9.06 m/s, y = 4.23 m/s
5.  x = 35.1 m, y = 71.9 m
6.  x = 86.9 m, y = -23.3 m
7. x = 0, y= 5m
8.  8.94 km at 19.1 degrees S of W (3rd Quad)
9.  563 km/h at 1.64 degrees S of W (3rd Quad)
10.  16.4 km at 61.9 degrees N of E (1st Quad)
11.  19.7 m/s at 68.3 degrees S of E (4th Quad)
12.  32.0 N at 2.47 degrees N of E (1st Quad)
