Two vectors are shown. Which statement best compares the vectors?
2 answers:
Answer:
Vectors Y has greater magnitude than vector X
Explanation:
The attached figure shows two vectors. A vector have both magnitude and direction.
The length of vector X is less than vector Y. They both are pointing in opposite directions.
The magnitude of a vector is given by :
a = xi +yj
From the figure, it is clear that the vector Y has greater magnitude than vector X. Hence, the correct option is (B).

Using the precise speed of light in a vacuum (
), and your given distance of 
, we can convert and cancel units to find the answer. The distance in m, using 
, is 
. Next, for the speed of light, we convert from s to min, using 
, so we divide the speed of light by 60. Finally, dividing the distance between the Sun and Venus by the speed of light in km per min, we find that it is 6.405 min.
