how to i find the magnitude of a vector from v1 and v2
To find the magnitude of a vector from its x and y components (v1 and v2), you can use the Pythagorean theorem. The magnitude (or length) of the vector can be calculated using the formula:
Magnitude = sqrt(v1^2 + v2^2)
Here's how you can find the magnitude of a vector step by step:
1. Square the value of v1 (the x-component of the vector).
Square_v1 = v1^2
2. Square the value of v2 (the y-component of the vector).
Square_v2 = v2^2
3. Add the squared values of v1 and v2 together.
Sum_of_squares = Square_v1 + Square_v2
4. Take the square root of the sum to obtain the magnitude.
Magnitude = sqrt(Sum_of_squares)
By following these steps, you can easily find the magnitude of a vector from its components, v1 and v2.
