12 m and 16 m :) The answer is simple, I got it wrong on a test and this was the answer .... sorry can someone help us out??
Answer;
The perpendicular components have a magnitude of 12 and 16
Explanation;
- To find the magnitude of the resultant vector, the formula is written as:
R² = x² + y²,
where
x and y are the perpendicular vectors along x and y axes, respectively.
- Therefore, any pair of x and y must satisfy the given equation. There are a lot of possibilities.
Let's say, if x = 12, then,
20² = 12² + y²
y = 16
Thus, One possibility would be a horizontal x vector equal to 12 m, and a vertical y vector equal to 16 m.
