Answer:
The angle with the positive x axis 61.31°
Explanation:
It is given that, a vector in the x-y plane has a magnitude of 25 m and x component of 12 m.
x component of the vector, base = 12 m
Magnitude of hypotenuse, H = 25 m
We need to find the angle with the positive x axis. Let it is given by θ such that :
[tex]cos\theta=\dfrac{base}{hypotenuse}[/tex]
[tex]cos\theta=\dfrac{12}{25}[/tex]
θ = 61.31°
So, the angle with the positive x axis 61.31°. Hence, this is the required solution.
