Avector has an x-component of -3.09m and a y-component of 187. find the magnitude and direction of the vector.

187 meters, 90.9 degrees

Explanation:

vx = -3.09 m

vy = 187 m

Use Pythagorean theorem to find the magnitude:

v² = vx² + vy²

v² = (-3.09)² + 187²

v² = 9.55 + 34969

v² = 34978.55

v = 187 meters

Use trigonometry to find the angle:

θ = atan(vy / vx)

θ = atan(187 / -3.09)

θ = -89.1°, 90.9°

Since θ is in the second quadrant, θ = 90.9°.
