Answer:

magnitude of A − B =  15.81 km

Explanation:

Vector A points in the negative y-direction and has a magnitude of 5 km. Vector B points in the positive x-direction and has a  magnitude of 15 km.

According to Cartesian coordinate system, the resultant will start either from tail of A and ends at head of B and vice-versa.

A(0,-5)

B(15,0)

A - B = (-15 i - 5 j )

Magnitude of the vector is given by

|A - B| = \sqrt{(-15)^{2}+(-5)^{2}}

|A - B| = \sqrt{250}

|A - B| = 15.81 km

What are Sir Issac Newton's three laws of motion?
Likurg_2 [28]
The first law is that every object stay at rest or stay in uniform motion in a straight line until it is forced to change its state by the action of an external force. This law is called law of inertia.

The second law is that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables. the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object.  F= ma or force is equal to mass times acceleration. This law is known as the law of force and acceleration.  

The third law is that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.  every interaction there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. the size of forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object. 

Hope this helps :) 

can you please make this the brainliest answer it would really help . Thanks

Find the sum of the vectors:11 km N ,11km E
vladimir1956 [14]

The resultant vector is 11√2 km due north east.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The vector is a type of quantity which has both magnitude and direction. This quantities when expressed needs to specify both magnitude and direction.

We need to calculate the magnitude and direction separately.

Here firstly for the magnitude,

The magnitudes are both 11 km and they are at right angles to each other.

So, the resultant magnitude = √(11² +11²) km

=11√2 km

Now for the direction, one vector is due north and the other is due east.

So the resultant vector is due north east.

So the final vector is 11√2 km due North-East.
