The addition of vectors involve both magnitude and direction. In this case, we make use of a triangle to visualize the problem. The length of two sides were given while the measure of the angle between the two sides can be derived. We then assign variables for each of the given quantities.

Let:

b = length of one side = 8 m
c = length of one side = 6 m
A = angle between b and c = 90°-25° = 75°

We then use the cosine law to find the length of the unknown side. The cosine law results to the formula: a^2 = b^2 + c^2 -2*b*c*cos(A). Substituting the values, we then have: a = sqrt[(8)^2 + (6)^2 -2(8)(6)cos(75°)]. Finally, we have a = 8.6691 m.

Next, we make use of the sine law to get the angle, B, which is opposite to the side B. The sine law results to the formula: sin(A)/a = sin(B)/b and consequently, sin(75)/8.6691 = sin(B)/8. We then get B = 63.0464°. However, the direction of the resultant vector is given by the angle Θ which is Θ = 90° - 63.0464° = 26.9536°.

In summary, the resultant vector has a magnitude of 8.6691 m and it makes an angle equal to 26.9536° with the x-axis.

Definition of distance in physics
solniwko [45]

Answer:

Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion. Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position.
