If (vector) B is added to (vector) C=3.0i + 4.0j, the result is a vector in the positive direction of the y axis, with a magnitude equal to that of (vector) C. What is magniatude of (vector) B?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\vec{B}=-3\hat{i}+1\hat{j}[/tex]

Explanation:

given,

[tex]\vec{C} = 3 i + 4 j[/tex]

magnitude of vector C

[tex] C = \sqrt{3^2+4^2}[/tex]

[tex] C = 5 [/tex]

Sum of vector B and vector C is equal to magnitude of vector C in y-direction

[tex]\vec{B}+\vec{C} = 5\hat{j}[/tex]

[tex]\vec{B}+( 3\hat{i}+4\hat{j})= 5\hat{j}[/tex]

now, vector B is equal to

[tex]\vec{B}=5\hat{j} - ( 3\hat{i}+4\hat{j})[/tex]

[tex]\vec{B}=-3\hat{i}+1\hat{j}[/tex]

Hence, the given vector B is equal to  [tex]\vec{B}=-3\hat{i}+1\hat{j}[/tex]
