Given that a force vector extends from the origin to (120 N,-60.0 N),find the magnitude of the vector.
A) 140 N
B) 134 N
C) 180 N
D) 60.0 N

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the magnitude of the force vector, we need to use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that the magnitude is equal to the square root of the sum of the squares of the components.

Magnitude = sqrt((120 N)^2 + (-60.0 N)^2)

Magnitude = sqrt(14400 + 3600)

Magnitude = sqrt(18000)

Magnitude = 134 N

Therefore, the answer is B) 134 N.
