Question

A vector points -43.0 units along the x axis, and 11.1 units along the y axis. Find the Direction of the vector.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The direction of the vector implies only its angle, not its magnitude. The direction of the vector is found in

`tan^(-1)((y)/(x))` so

`tan^(-1)((11.1)/(-43.0))=-14.5` but since we are in QII (where x is negative and y is positive) we have to add 180 to this number to get a direction of 165.5 degrees
