Vector points in the positive x direction and has a magnitude of 75m . The vector C=A+B points in the positive y direction and has a magnitude of 95m . Sketch A, B, and C with tails at dot.Find the direction of the vector B
To find the direction of vector B, we need to sketch the given vectors A, B, and C, and then analyze their directions.
Since vector A points in the positive x direction, we can draw it as an arrow starting from the dot and extending horizontally to the right by a magnitude of 75m.
Similarly, vector C points in the positive y direction, so we can draw it as an arrow starting from the dot and extending vertically upwards by a magnitude of 95m.
Now, to find the direction of vector B, we need to determine its orientation relative to A and C. Since C is pointing upwards, and B is part of vector C, we can infer that B is also pointing upwards. However, since vector A is in a different direction (to the right), we conclude that vector B is not purely vertical but has a component in the positive y direction.
Therefore, the direction of vector B is in the positive y direction, with some horizontal component due to the presence of vector A.
