Answer:
a1 = -2.89 units
a2 = 3.17 units
magnitude = 4.2896 units
direction = 132.35 degrees
Explanation:
We can write the vector in component form as: <-2.89, 3.17>
That means that its i and j components are:
a1 = -2.89 units
a2 = 3.17 units
The magnitude of the vector is given by:
[tex]\sqrt{(-2.89)^2 +3.17^2} \approx 4.2896[/tex]
The vectors direction can be found from the tangent function, ad noticing that the vector must reside on the Second Quadrant:
[tex]arctan(-3.17/2.89) + 180^o\approx 132.35^o[/tex]
