Question 1044217: A vector w , with a magnitude 250 km/h has a bearing of 70 degrees.
a) Resolve the vector into its components.
b) Find two vectors that are not perpendicular to each other that add to vector w.

Thank you for looking at this and helping me

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Give a couple of angles arbitrarily for part (b).

u=(r,85) if this vector is polar form, and another vector v=(r,50) in similar form, and assuming both vectors u and v are of size r. Not need to be, but just as an example.

You want u%2Bv=w.
Changing the form into components
(r*cos(85),r*sin(85))+(r*cos(50),r*sin(50))=(250*cos(70),250*sin(70))
