The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the magnitude of vector **Q** given the components of vectors **P** and **P + Q**. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the components of vector P:** - The x-component of vector **P** is given as 7. - The y-component of vector **P** is given as 6. - Therefore, we can express vector **P** as: \[ \vec{P} = 7\hat{i} + 6\hat{j} \] 2. **Identify the components of vector P + Q:** - The x-component of vector **P + Q** is given as 11. - The y-component of vector **P + Q** is given as 9. - Therefore, we can express vector **P + Q** as: \[ \vec{P} + \vec{Q} = 11\hat{i} + 9\hat{j} \] 3. **Find the components of vector Q:** - To find vector **Q**, we can use the relationship: \[ \vec{Q} = (\vec{P} + \vec{Q}) - \vec{P} \] - Substituting the known values: \[ \vec{Q} = (11\hat{i} + 9\hat{j}) - (7\hat{i} + 6\hat{j}) \] - Performing the subtraction: \[ \vec{Q} = (11 - 7)\hat{i} + (9 - 6)\hat{j} = 4\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} \] 4. **Calculate the magnitude of vector Q:** - The magnitude of vector **Q** can be calculated using the formula: \[ |\vec{Q}| = \sqrt{(Q_x)^2 + (Q_y)^2} \] - Substituting the components of **Q**: \[ |\vec{Q}| = \sqrt{(4)^2 + (3)^2} = \sqrt{16 + 9} = \sqrt{25} \] - Therefore, the magnitude of vector **Q** is: \[ |\vec{Q}| = 5 \] ### Final Answer: The magnitude of vector **Q** is **5**. ---

To solve the problem, we need to find the magnitude of vector **Q** given the components of vectors **P** and **P + Q**. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the components of vector P:** - The x-component of vector **P** is given as 7. - The y-component of vector **P** is given as 6. - Therefore, we can express vector **P** as: ...
