Question

Vector A has a magnitude of 60 units eastward and vector

B has a magnitude of 11 units northward. What is the
magnitude of the resultant between vectors A & B?

Answer 1

61 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Since OA=60 units and OB= 11 units, the resultant is the hypotenuse of the two vectors

Therefore,
`resultant=\sqrt {(OA)^(2)+(OB)^(2)}`

Substituting the given values then

`Resultant=\sqrt{60^(2)+11^(2)}=61`

Therefore, resultant between A and B is 61 units
