Question

Vector A has a magnitude of 3 newtons and points in the positive direction vector B has a magnitude of 10 newtons and points in the negative direction. What is the resultant

Answer 1

Answer: 7 newtons in the negative direction

Step-by-step explanation:

If the directions measured are only negative and positive then the resultant should just be the addition of the two vectors.

Adding the vectors we have (+3N) + (-10N)

This gives us a final answer of (-7N) or 7 newtons in the negative direction
