Find the vector v with the given magnitude and the same direction as u. Magnitude: v=3 Direction: u = −36, −15

Answer 1

First, we find the magnitude of vector u,

Magnitude of u : √((-36)^2+(-15)^2) = 39.

So the magnitude is 39. Compare that with magnitude of v. You see that the magnitude of u is 13 times greater than the magnitude of v. So to find vector v, we just divide vector u by 13 and we get the following

v = -2.769, -1.154
