Questions and Answers

What is the formula to find the magnitude of a vector?

  • A = Ax^2 + Ay^2
  • A = √(Ax)^2 + (Ay)^2 (correct)
  • A = √(Ax + Ay)^2
  • A = Ax + Ay

    • What is the angle of the vector measured from?

  • The origin
  • The +y-axis
  • The -x-axis
  • The +x-axis (correct)

    • What is the formula to find the angle of a vector?

  • θ = cot^-1 (Ax/Ay)
  • θ = sin^-1 (Ay/Ax)
  • θ = tan^-1 (Ay/Ax) (correct)
  • θ = cos^-1 (Ax/Ay)
