r1 = 2.43-i4.74.
tanA1 = -4.74/2.43 = -1.95062,
A1 = -62.86deg, CW = 297.1deg,CCW.
r2 = -3.02+i0.85.
tanA2 = 0.85/-3.02 = -0.281457,
A2 = -15.72deg,CW = 344.3deg,CCW.
A = 344.3 - 297.1 = 47.2deg. = Angle
between r1 and r2.
Or
A = -15.7 - (-62.9) = -15.7 + 62.9
= 47.2deg.
The problem concern the position vectors r1=2.43mi-4.74mj and r2=-3.02mi+0.85mj.
Find the angle between the two vectors. Hint: Find the angle each makes with the +x-axis.
