Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the magnitude and direction of the vector \( A = 6 \hat{i} - 8 \hat{j} \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the Magnitude of the Vector The magnitude of a vector \( A \) can be calculated using the formula: \[ |A| = \sqrt{(A_x)^2 + (A_y)^2} \] where \( A_x \) is the component along the x-axis (i component) and \( A_y \) is the component along the y-axis (j component). ...
