Question #ad6b0 Physics 2D Motion Introduction to Vectors 1 Answer Narad T. Jun 3, 2017 The vector is #veca=2sqrt5veci+sqrt5vecj-5veckj# Explanation: Let the #veca# be #veca=a_xveci+a_yvecj+a_zveck# We are given #a_x=2a_y# and #cos135º =a_z/(||veca||)# #||veca||=sqrt(a_x^2+a_y^2+a_z^2)=5sqrt2# #cos 135=-sqrt2/2=a_z/(5sqrt2)# #=>#, #a_z=-sqrt2/2*5sqrt2=-5# Therefore, #a_x^2+a_y^2+a_z^2=(5sqrt2)^2# #a_x^2+a_y^2=50-25=25# #4a_y^2+a_y^2=25# #a_y^2=25/5=5# #a_y=sqrt5# #a_x=2sqrt5# So, #veca=2sqrt5veci+sqrt5vecj-5veckj# Answer link Related questions Why is a vector product perpendicular?
