You are given a vector in the XY plane that has a magnitude of 87. 0 units and a y component of -66. 0 units. The direction of the vector V is;
<h3>How to know the direction of a vector?</h3>We know that the formula for 2 vectors like this in the x and y directions is; A = xi^ + yj^
Where A is the magnitude of the resultant
x is the value of the x-component
y is the value of the y-component
We are given;
Magnitude of vector = 84 units
Y-component of the vector = -67 units
Thus,
From A above, let us take the positive value of the x-component and as such our original vector will be;
A = 56.68i^ - 66j^
The direction of the vector V is;
Since it points entirely to the negative x-axis, then the angle is;
180 - (-27.15) = 207.15°
