If a vector →A→ has the following components, use trigonometry to find its magnitude and the counterclockwise angle it makes with the +x axis: (a) Ax = 8.0 lb, Ay = 6.0 lb, (b) Ax = −24 m/s, Ay = −31 m/s, (c) Ax = −1500 km, Ay = 2000 km, (d) Ax = 71.3 N, Ay = −54.7 N.
The x component of vector A is 5.3 units, and its y component is -2.3 units. What is the angle that vector A makes with the +x-axis, measured counter-clockwise from the positive x-axis?
