- A vector has an x-component of -54, and a y-component of -67. What is the magnitude of the result of scalar -2 times this vector? A vector has an x-componant of -83 and a y-componant of 92. Find the magnitude of the vector. Given a vector's magnitude and direction, 52 at 332°, find the Y component of the vector. A vector has an x-component of 7, and a y-component of -5. A second vector has an x-component of -77, and a y-component of -91. What is the magnitude of the sum of these two vectors? A vector has an x-componant of 33 and a y-componant of 22. Find the direction of the vector in degrees between 0 and 360. A vector has a magnitude of 42, and a direction of 71°. What is the direction (in degrees between 0 and 360) of the result of scalar -98 times this vector?arrow_forwardVectors A treasure map shows a path from the hanging tree to walk to find the buried treasure. It reads to start at the hanging tree and north 7.5 meters. The map then says to turn and walk 9.8 meters at 30 degrees north of east, then walk south 1.4 meters, and finally walk west 38.0 meters. Once at this position, the map says to turn east and walk 14.0 more meters, then turn north and walk 12.0 more meters, and finally to turn due west and walk 6.0 meters. There you will find the treasure!(a) Being a physicist, you want to get rid of all the steps and walk right to the treasure. What is the magnitude of the displacement you would walk if you walked directly to the treasure alongthe line of the resultant?arrow_forwardA jogger runs 77 meters in a direction 20 degrees east of north (A)and then 27 meters in a direction 35 degrees south of east(B).
