Explain solution RD sharma class 12 chapter 22 algebra of vectors exercise 22.5, question 12 sub question 2
The components of along x axis is a vector of magnitude 5 along the negative direction of x axis
The component of along y axis is a vector of magnitude 1 along the positive direction of Y axis
Hint: position vector of point (x, y) is given by where and are the unit vector in x and y direction
Given:Q=(-5,1)
Solution:
As we know, position vector of a point (x, y) is given by
So
The components of along x axis is a vector of magnitude 5 along the negative direction of x axis
The component of along y axis is a vector of magnitude 1 along the positive direction of Y axis
