A vector A has components Ax = -7.0 m and Ay = -48.0 m. What is the the angle that vector A makes with the x-axis?
To find the angle that vector A makes with the x-axis, you can use trigonometry. The angle between vector A and the x-axis is the same as the angle between vector A and the positive x-axis.
To calculate this angle, you can use the formula:
θ = tan^(-1)(Ay / Ax)
where θ is the angle and Ay and Ax are the components of vector A.
Plugging in the values, we have:
θ = tan^(-1)(-48.0 m / -7.0 m)
Now, let's calculate the angle using this information.
