adding Vectors on the ti85
In my honors physics class, we're starting to learn to add vectors.
I know how to add vectors by typing in the x components (R cos theta) and y
components (R sin theta). Also Unit vector notation. Here are 2 examples of
what i mean:
|y (j)
|
|
------------x or (i) <---- coordinate plane
/
/
/z (k)
vectors:
35m/s at 40 deg
35 cos 40=26.8 < x component
35 sin 40=22.5 < y component
Answer is 26.8i + 22.5j
75m/s at 160 deg
75 cos 160= -70.47 < x component
75 sin 160= 25.7 < y component
Answer is -70.47i + 25.7j
Can you do this in the vector menu automatically on the Ti85?
Thanks
