Draw a vector diagram with the first leg representing the 20 km due north and the second leg representing the 25 km in a direction 60° west of north. The resultant vector is the vector that connects the starting point to the endpoint of the second leg.

Question

Draw a vector diagram with the first leg representing the 20 km due north and the second leg representing the 25 km in a direction 60° west of north. The resultant vector is the vector that connects the starting point to the endpoint of the second leg.

Answer 1

Here is the vector diagram:

```
A B
●─────────────────►
|\
| \ /
20 km\ /
\/
────►
60°
```

In the diagram, A represents the starting point and B represents the ending point of the second leg. The first leg, which is 20 km due north, is represented by the vertical line going from A to the intersection point with the line representing the second leg. The second leg, which is 25 km in a direction 60° west of north, is represented by the slanted line going from the intersection point to B. The resultant vector, which connects the starting point A to the endpoint B of the second leg, is shown as an arrow from A to B.
