The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the components of the vector \(\vec{A}\) after the coordinate axes have been rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise. The original components of the vector are given as: - \(A_x = +5\) (along the x-axis) - \(A_y = +7\) (along the y-axis) ### Step 1: Understand the Rotation of Axes When we rotate the axes 90 degrees counterclockwise, the new axes \(x'\) and \(y'\) will be oriented as follows: - The original positive x-axis will now point in the direction of the positive y-axis. - The original positive y-axis will now point in the direction of the negative x-axis. ### Step 2: Determine the New Components To find the new components of the vector \(\vec{A}\) in the rotated coordinate system: - The new x-component \(A_{x'}\) will be equal to the original y-component \(A_y\). - The new y-component \(A_{y'}\) will be equal to the negative of the original x-component \(A_x\). Thus, we can express this mathematically as: - \(A_{x'} = A_y = +7\) - \(A_{y'} = -A_x = -5\) ### Step 3: Write the Final Answer After performing the calculations, we find that the components of the vector \(\vec{A}\) along the new axes are: - \(A_{x'} = +7\) - \(A_{y'} = -5\) Therefore, the components of the vector \(\vec{A}\) along the rotated axes are: \[ \vec{A} = (7, -5) \] ### Conclusion The correct answer is \(A_{x'} = +7\) and \(A_{y'} = -5\). ---
