Vector B is angled at 49.0 degrees, and consider vector R which stretches at 36.0 meters

Given the update:

- **Vector \(\mathbf{B}\)** is now angled at **49.0°** relative to the positive x-axis, while its magnitude remains the same at **22.0 units**.
- **Vector \(\mathbf{R}\)** has a magnitude of **36.0 units** and aligns along the x-axis (since it stretches horizontally).

### Steps to solve:
1. **Recalculate the components of vector \(\mathbf{B}\)** with the new angle of 49.0°:
   - \( B_x = B \cos(49.0^\circ) \)
   - \( B_y = B \sin(49.0^\circ) \)

2. **Determine the components of vector \(\mathbf{C}\)** using vectors \(\mathbf{A}\), \(\mathbf{B}\), and \(\mathbf{R}\):
   - Since vector \(\mathbf{R}\) stretches horizontally, it's parallel to the x-axis.
   - The x-component of \(\mathbf{R}\) would then be \( R_x = 36.0 \) units and \( R_y = 0 \).

3. **Use the vector relationship**:
   - Since \(\mathbf{C}\) is parallel to \(\mathbf{R}\), we need to adjust the relationship to reflect this, possibly adjusting how \(\mathbf{C}\) balances the vector sum to align with \(\mathbf{R}\).

Let me compute these updated components and the resultant vector \(\mathbf{C}\).With the updated angle of vector \(\mathbf{B}\) at **49.0°**, the magnitude of the resultant vector \(\mathbf{C}\) is approximately **31.22 units**, and its directional angle \(\theta\) relative to the positive x-axis is approximately **32.13°**.

This resultant vector \(\mathbf{C}\) aligns with vector \(\mathbf{R}\), confirming that it is parallel to the x-axis.

Here are 5 related questions to explore further:

1. How would the magnitude of \(\mathbf{C}\) change if vector \(\mathbf{R}\) had a different magnitude?
2. What would happen to the directional angle if vector \(\mathbf{B}\) had an angle greater than 90°?
3. How can the vector components be used to analyze the motion of an object in a different scenario?
4. What is the geometric interpretation of having vectors \(\mathbf{C}\) and \(\mathbf{R}\) parallel?
5. If vector \(\mathbf{B}\) were to rotate, how would the resultant vector \(\mathbf{C}\) change in magnitude and direction?

**Tip:** When vectors are parallel, their directional angles are equal or differ by 180°, depending on their direction.
