Question

vector A has a magnitude of 60 units eastward and vector
B has a magnitude of 11 units northward. What is the
magnitude of the resultant between vectors A & B?

Answer 1

Answer:

61 units

Explanation:

Since OA=60 units and OB= 11 units, the resultant is the hypotenuse of the two vectors

Therefore, $resultant=\sqrt {(OA)^{2}+(OB)^{2}}$

Substituting the given values then

$Resultant=\sqrt{60^{2}+11^{2}}=61$

Therefore, resultant between A and B is 61 units
