  1. Question 1

    Q1. A vector is represented as A = i + j. What is the angle that this vector makes with the positive x-axis?

    • A) 0 degrees
    • B) 90 degrees
    • C) 45 degrees
    • D) 60 degrees

    Answer: 45 degrees

    Explanation: The angle is calculated as arctan(y/x), where arctan(1/1) equals 45 degrees. Option D is incorrect as it assumes a 90-degree orientation.
