a bear is applying force on a tree by rubbing its back on it. the strength of the force is 25 newtons, and the direction is 35° to the east from the northward direction relative to the tree. here are a few vectors, where ||a|| = ||c|| = 25 n and ||b|| = ||d|| = 35 n: which vectors can represent the force the bear applies to the tree? choose all answers that apply:
Answer
# Explanation:
## Step 1: Identify magnitude requirement
Force magnitude is 25 N, so vectors with ||v|| = 25 N are candidates (a, c).
## Step 2: Analyze direction
Direction is 35° to the east from northward. Vector a points 35° east of north (matches), vector c points 35° east of south (opposite direction, incorrect).
# Answer:
A. Vector \( \vec{a} \)
