A vector has an x-component of 6.15 m and a y-component of -3.88 m. Find the magnitude of the vector.

Vmagn = √Vx^2+Vy^2 = √6.15^2+3.88^2 = 7.2717 m Vector doesn't have just a magnitude but also a direction and a versus (heading) worth : heading = arctan Vy/Vx = arctan (-3.88/6.15) = -32.25° (32.25° South of East)

sqrt(6.15^2 + 3.88^2) = about 7 or 8 but use a calculator.

Hello, Please see the following problem attached.

The following equation is used to magnitude of a vector. Magnitude = √(x^2 + y^2) = √(6.15^2 + -3.88^2) = √52.8769 This is approximately 7.27 meters.
