vector opposite to (6i-8j ) whose magnitude is 5 units
Answers
Answer:
-3i + 4j
Explanation:
Given vector is (6i-8j)
since in vectors, negative sign shows that vector is opposite to given vector
So for opposite vector , apply negative sign
=> -(6i-8j)
=> -6i + 8j
Now we find the unit vector of given vector by the formula
\frac{Vector}{Magnitude of vector}
=> \frac{-6i+8j}{\sqrt{-6^{2} + 8^{2} } }
the result will be \frac{-6}{10} i + \frac{8}{10} j
=> \frac{-3}{5} i + \frac{4}{5} j
It is a vector of magnitude 1 unit
For 5 units , Multiply the given vector by 5
5(\frac{-3}{5} i + \frac{4}{5} j )
The result will be as follow
-3i + 4j
