To solve the problem, we need to find the tangent of the angle between the vector \( \vec{A} \) and the x-axis, given that the x-component of the vector is half of its magnitude. Let's break this down step by step. ### Step 1: Define the components of the vector Let the magnitude of the vector \( \vec{A} \) be \( |\vec{A}| \). The x-component of the vector \( \vec{A} \) can be denoted as \( A_x \). According to the problem, we have: \[ A_x = \frac{1}{2} |\vec{A}| \] ...
