Question

select the correct answer. add these two velocity vectors to find the magnitude of their resultant vector. 5.8 meters/second 1.2 meters/second a. 4.6 meters/second b. 0.8 meters/second c. 2.2 meters/second d. 7.0 meters/second

Explanation:

Step1: Assign directions

Right: +5.8 m/s, Left: -1.2 m/s

Step2: Add vectors

Resultant = 5.8 + (-1.2) = 4.6 m/s

Answer:

A. 4.6 meters/second
