A vector of components (6, 2) is multiplied by the scalar value of 3. What is the magnitude and direction of the resultant vector? magnitude: 19.0; direction: 18.4° magnitude: 8.49; direction: 45.0° magnitude: 2.11; direction: 12.6° magnitude: 18.1; direction: 16.7°

Respuesta :

you don't have 12.6 in there

Answer: The magnitude and direction of the vector with component (6, 2) after multiplication with scalar value 3 is:

magnitude: 19.0; direction: 18.4°

Explanation;

[tex]\overrightarrow{V}=6\widehat{i}+2\widehat{j}[/tex]

[tex]|\overrightarrow{V}|=\sqrt{6^2+2^2}=2\sqrt{10}[/tex]

[tex]\overrightarrow{V}=3\times |\overrightarrow{V}|=3\times 2sqrt{10}=18.97\approx 19[/tex]

Direction:[tex]\tan\theta =\frac{2}{6}p[/tex]

[tex]\theta =\tan^{-1}\frac{1}{3}=18.43^o\approx 18.4^o[/tex]

The magnitude and direction of the vector with component (6, 2) after multiplication with scalar value 3 is:

magnitude: 19.0; direction: 18.4°
