If `vecA` is a vector of magnitude 5 units due east. What is the magnitude and direction of a vector `-5 vecA` ?

A

0

B

`pi//3`

C

`pi//2`

D

`pi//4`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`vecA+vecB = vecC rArr A^(2) +B^(2) = C^(2)`
thus angle between `vecA and vecB ` is `90^(@)`.
