Vector B has components Bx = 6.18 and By = 4.43. Find the magnitude and direction counter clockwise from the positive x-axis.

Answer :

Answer:

Explanation:

The formula for the magnitude of this resultant vector, which is in Q1, btw, is:

[tex]B_{mag}=\sqrt{6.18^2+4.43^2}[/tex] which gives us, to 3 sig fig's:

7.60 m. Since the resultant vector is in Q1, we don't need to add anything to the angle once we find it to 3 sig fig:

[tex]tan^{-1}(\frac{4.43}{6.18})[/tex] gives us an angle of 35.6 degrees
