Question

If Vx= 9.5 units and Vy= -6.4 units, determine the magnitude of V

Answer 1

Answer:

The magnitude of the velocity is approximately 11.45 units

Explanation:

Since they give us the x and y components of the vector velocity, we can find its magnitude via the Pythagorean theorem:

$|v|=\sqrt{9.5^2+(-6.4)^2} \approx 11.45$
