SW 1.2 [01]
A small airplane leaves an airport on
an overcast day and is later sighted
215 km away, in a direction making
an angle of 22° east of due north.
This means that the direction is not
due north (directly toward the north)
but is rotated 22° toward the east
from due north. How far east and
north is the airplane from the airport
when sighted?
3-2 Unit Vectors, Adding Vectors by Components
⚫ A unit vector
Eq. (3-7)
o Has magnitude 1
Eq. (3-8)
o Has a particular direction
o Lacks both dimension and unit
o Is labeled with a hat: ^
⚫ We use a right-handed
coordinate system
o Remains right-handed when
rotated
