Answer:

[tex]53.13^{0}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider vector A as shown in the figure given. The x- and y-component of vectors are given as Ax and Ay.

The angle of the vector with positive x-axis is given by,

∅ =[tex]Tan^{-1}[/tex] ([tex]\frac{Ay}{Ax}[/tex])

= [tex]Tan^{-1}[/tex] ([tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex])

= [tex]36.86^{0}[/tex]

Where: Ax = x-component of the vector ann Ay=x-component of the vector

Thus, the angle of vector:

α = 90-∅

= [tex]53.13^{0}[/tex]

The angle that this vector makes with the positive y-axis is 53.13°.

The angle between vectors;

A vector is said to be in a standard position if its initial point is the origin (0, 0).

If the two vectors are assumed as a and b then the dot created is defined as a .b.

Given

A vector is located in the x-y plane.

The x and y components of this vector are 4.00 m and 3.00 m, respectively.

Let the angle that this vector makes with the positive y-axis be α.

The angle of the vector with the positive x-axis is given by;

[tex]\rm tan\theta=\dfrac{AY}{AX}[/tex]

Substitute all the values in the formula;

[tex]\rm tan\theta=\dfrac{AY}{AX}\\\\\rm tan\theta=\dfrac{3}{4}\\\\\theta=tan{-1}\dfrac{3}{4}\\\\\theta=36.86 \ degrees[/tex]

Therefore,

the angle that this vector makes with the positive y-axis is;

α = 90 - 36.86 =53.13°

Hence, the angle that this vector makes with the positive y-axis is 53.13°.
