If you want the components of a vector, you most know the angle made by the vector with x-axis. What is that angle?MrGoodyear812 said:OH! SORRY!
it should be the vectore
-5.2A

The magnitude of a vector refers to its length or size. In this case, the magnitude of the vector -5.2 is 32 units.
The vector -5.2 points in the positive direction. This means the vector extends in a direction that is to the right or above the origin, depending on the coordinate system used.
The direction of a vector is determined by its angle with respect to a reference axis or direction. In this case, the vector -5.2 points in the positive direction, which means it forms an angle of 0 degrees with the positive x-axis.
No, a vector cannot have a negative magnitude. Magnitude is a scalar quantity, meaning it only has a numerical value and does not have a direction. Therefore, it cannot be negative.
The magnitude of a vector is calculated using the Pythagorean theorem, which states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides. In this case, the magnitude of the vector -5.2 can be calculated as √((-5.2)^2 + 0^2) = √27.04 = 32.
