The following vector applies to the next two problems: x-component: -248 and y-component: -275 Sketch the vector. Do not use a scale. Find the magnitude of the vector. Find the direction of the vector.

Solution

magnitude of the vector= sqrt((-248²) + (-275²)) = 370.31

direction ,tan theta= (-275/-248)

theta=tan^-1(-248/-275)= 222 degree
