Question

2. The components of vector A are given as follows:

Answer 1

Answer:

50 degree.

Explanation:

Given that the components of vector A are given as follows: Ax = 5.6 Ay = -4.7

The angle between vector A and B in the positive direction of x-axis will be achieved by using the formula:

Tan Ø = Ay/Ax

Substitute Ay and Ax into the formula above.

Tan Ø = -4.7 / 5.6

Tan Ø = -0.839

Ø = tan^-1(-0. 839)

Ø = - 40 degree

Therefore, the angle between vector A and B positive direction of x-axis will be

90 - 40 = 50 degree.
