Answer :
Final answer:
A. has a magnitude of 5.00 and is at an angle of 36.9 degrees south of east.
The correct statement regarding the direction and magnitude of vector A is Option A, which accurately reflects the description given: a magnitude of 5.00 and directed 36.9 degrees south of east.
Explanation:
The question involves understanding the addition of vectors and interpreting their directions correctly. To address the question presented, we start by recognizing that vector A is described as having a magnitude of 5.00 and is directed 36.9 degrees south of east, while vector B is said to have a magnitude of 6.40 and is directed 20.0 degrees west of north. Given the information and the options provided, Option A directly restates the correct description of vector A as given in the question, making it the correct statement. Option C correctly describes vector B but does not answer the specific question posed about vector A's angle of orientation.
