Question

The x component of a di nt vector r is-145 m, while its y is -176 m. (a) Find the magnitude of 228 0 b) Find the direction of r. 144 11 1 WA 044 A golfer takes three strokes to putt a golf ball into a hole. On the first stroke, the ball moves 5.2 m dure east. On the second, moves 2.0 m at an angle 2ot north of east On the sird moves 0.50 m due north. If the golfer had instead hit the ball directly into the hole on the first stroke, what would have been the magsitude (in m) and drection af the bats displacement? Give the direction as a positive angle measured counterclockwise from due east. magnitude 7177 direction 112 of the vector sum, to find the angle. Check your result against your diagram functions, along with the Use trigo

Answer 1

The direction is the tan inverse of the y component divided by the X component of the vector.
