Question

The angle of the resultant vector is equal to1) the inverse tangent of the quotient of the x-component divided by the y-component of the resultant vector.2) the inverse cosine of the quotient of the y-component divided by the x-component of the resultant vector.3) the inverse cosine of the quotient of the x-component divided by the y-component of the resultant vector.4) the inverse tangent of the quotient of the y-component divided by the x-component of the resultant vector.

Answer 1

The angle of the resultant vector is equal to the inverse tangent of the quotient of the y-component divided by the x-component of the resultant vector. Therefore, option (4) is correct.
