Find the magnitude and direction of the vector represented by the following pairs of components: (a) Ax=-8.60cm,Ay=5.20cm; (b) Ax=-9.70m,Ay=-2.45m(c) Ax=7.75km,Ay=-2.70km

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) the angle of the vector is 149 and magnitude is 10.04cm,

(b) the angle of the vector is 14.2 and magnitude is 10.0m, and

(c) the angle of the vector is 109.2 and magnitude is 8.21km.

Step by step solution

01

Vector and its direction

The vector's various coordinates are presented here. We know that in coordinates, the x component of a vector comes first, followed by the y component. To calculate the angle of the vector with respect to the x-axis, just multiply the y component by the xcomponent and then take the inverse of that result.

This will tell you the vector's angle with thex-axis.

It can be represented as

=tan-1yx(1)
02

(a) Magnitude and direction of A

The vector Ais (-8.60cm,5.20cm)

The magnitude of the vector can be calculated by the sum of the square of the magnitude of the individual coordinates

A=Ax2+Bx2=(-8.6cm)2+(5.2cm)2=10.04cm

Hence the magnitude of vectorAis 10.04cm

The counterclockwise angle taken from the positive x-axis is given by equation (1), such that,

=tan-1AyAx=tan-15.2cm-8.6cm=-tan-15.2cm-8.6cm=149

Hence vector A makes the angle of 149 and magnitude is 10.04cm.

03

(b) Magnitude of the vector in case B

The vector Ais (-9.70m,-2.45m)

The magnitude of the vector can be calculated by the sum of the square of the magnitude of the individual coordinates

A=Ax2+Bx2=(-9.70m)2+(-2.45m)2=10.0m

Hence the magnitude of vector A is 10.04cm

The counterclockwise angle taken from the positive x-axis is given by equation (1), such that,

=tan-1AyAx=tan-1-2.45m-9.70m=14.2

Hence vector A makes the angle of 194.2 and magnitude is 10.0m.

04

(c) Magnitude of the vector in case c

The vector A is (-9.70m,-2.45m)

The magnitude of the vector can be calculated by the sum of the square of the magnitude of the individual coordinates

A=Ax2+Bx2=(7.75km)2+(-2.70km)2=8.21km

Hence the magnitude of vector A is 8.21km

The counterclockwise angle taken from the positive x-axis is given by equation (l), such that,

=tan-1AyAx=tan-17.75km-2.70m=-70.79=109.2

Hence vector A makes the angle of109.2 and magnitude is 8.21km.

Therefore for case (a) the angle of the vector is 149 and magnitude is 10.04cm, for case (b) the angle of the vector is 14.2and magnitude is 10.0m, and in case (c) the angle of the vector is 109.2 and magnitude is 8.21km.
