Question

The resultant vector R has an angle that is determined by 

 

The image depicts a vector addition diagram, typically shown in physics or mathematics to illustrate the process of combining vectors. It features a grid with a horizontal \( x \)-axis and a vertical \( y \)-axis. Here is a detailed breakdown:

1. **Vectors:**
   - \( \mathbf{V_1} \) is horizontally aligned from the origin towards the right on the \( x \)-axis.
   - \( \mathbf{V_2} \) originates at the tip of \( \mathbf{V_1} \) and makes a diagonal upwards and to the right.
   - The resultant vector \( \mathbf{V_r} \) is shown as a diagonal from the origin to the endpoint of \( \mathbf{V_2} \).

2. **Components:**
   - \( \mathbf{V_{1x}} \) represents the horizontal component of \( \mathbf{V_1} \).
   - \( \mathbf{V_{2x}} \) represents the horizontal component of \( \mathbf{V_2} \), depicted along the \( x \)-axis starting from the tip of \( \mathbf{V_1} \).
   - \( \mathbf{V_{2y}} \) is the vertical component of \( \mathbf{V_2} \), shown as a vertical line from the tip of \( \mathbf{V_{2x}} \) up to the tip of \( \mathbf{V_2} \).

3. **Equation:**
   - The diagram includes an equation \( \mathbf{V_r} = \mathbf{V_1} + \mathbf{V_2} \), which denotes the vector addition.

4. **Question Label:**
   - Below the diagram, the text "Question 6" is displayed, indicating that it is part of a larger set of problems or exercises. 

This diagram effectively demonstrates how individual vector components combine to form a resultant vector using the parallelogram or triangle method of vector addition.
