The magnitude of a vector is its length or size. In this case, since only the y-component and angle are given, we cannot determine the magnitude without also knowing the x-component. Therefore, the magnitude of vector A cannot be determined with the given information.
The x-component of a vector represents the horizontal displacement or movement. In this case, only the y-component and angle are given, so the x-component cannot be determined without additional information.
Vector A can be represented graphically by drawing a line with an arrowhead pointing in the direction of the vector. The length of the line represents the magnitude of the vector, and the angle between the line and the horizontal axis represents the direction of the vector.
The direction of vector A can be determined by the angle it makes with the horizontal axis. In this case, vector A makes an angle of 32.0 degrees, so its direction is 32.0 degrees above the horizontal axis.
To resolve vector A into its components, we can use trigonometric functions. Since the y-component and angle are given, we can use the sine function to find the magnitude of the y-component. However, the x-component still cannot be determined without additional information.
