Question

which one is right?

Which of the following statements is correct regarding adding vectors in magnitude and direction form? oa. If the resultant of the sum of vectors belongs in the first quadrant, then you must add 1800 to (or subtract 180o from) your calculated answer. b. The sum of two vectors is found by adding their magnitudes and then adding their directions. .To find the direction of the sum of two vectors, you must calculate the arcsin of the ratio of the magnitudes of the y-component to the x-component If the x-component of the resultant is negative, you must add 180 to (or subtract 180 from) your calculated After resolving all vectors to be added into components, simply add the magnitudes of all components to find answer the resultant.

Explanation / Answer

d) If the x component of the resultant is negative, you must add 180 degree to your calculated answer

Since the answer is coming negative in x direction so it means vector is inclined to obtuse angle so we need to either add or subtract
