Question

Can someone help me?!!!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

7 units, north

Explanation:

This is a problem of vector subtraction. We have:

- Vector A: magnitude 2 units, direction to the north

- Vector B: magnitude 5 units, direction to the south

If we take the north as positive direction, we can write

$A = +2\\B=-5$

Since we want to find $A-B$ (vector subtraction), we have to change the sign of B, so we find:

$A-B=+2-(-5))=+2+5=+7$

And the positive sign means the direction is north.
