### Vector Magnitudes and Directions: Educational Guide#### Problem Statement1. **Vectors and Their Components:** - **Vector \( \mathbf{A} \)** is along the **x-axis**. - **Vector \( \mathbf{B} \)** makes an angle \( \theta \) with the **x-axis**. The problem requires determining the magnitude of the vector resultant \( \mathbf{A} - \mathbf{B} \).#### Options: - (a) \( A - B \cos \theta \) - (b) \( A - B \sin \theta \) - (c) \( \sqrt{A^2 - B^2} \) - (d) \( \sqrt{(A - B \sin \theta)^2 + B^2 \cos^2 \theta} \) - (e) \( \sqrt{(A - B \cos \theta)^2 + B^2 \sin^2 \theta} \)#### Explanation: - **Vector Analysis in the Coordinate System:** - **Vector \( \mathbf{A} \)**, being along the **x-axis**, can be represented as \( A \hat{i} \) where \( A \) is a positive real number. - **Vector \( \mathbf{B} \)** can be broken into its components along the x and y-axes: - \( B_x = B \cos \theta \) - \( B_y = B \sin \theta \) - **Subtraction of Vectors:** - The components of \( \mathbf{A} - \mathbf{B} \) can be expressed as: - \( (A - B \cos \theta) \hat{i} \) - \( (-B \sin \theta) \hat{j} \) - **Magnitude Calculation:** - The magnitude of the vector subtraction \( \mathbf{A} - \mathbf{B} \) is given by: \[ |\mathbf{A} - \mathbf{B}| = \sqrt{(A - B \cos \theta)^2 + (-B \sin \theta)^2} \] - Simplifying the above equation, we get: \[ |\mathbf{A} - \mathbf{B}| = \sqrt{(A - B \cos \theta)^
