3. Vectors / Vector Composition & Decomposition / Problem 6

Consider a velocity vector in the xy-plane with a magnitude of 12 m/s. The x-component of the vector's velocity is -7.0 m/s. i) Find the two possible values for its y-component. ii) Assuming the y-component velocity is confirmed as positive, identify the extra velocity vector needed to alter the vector's direction to be along the positive y-axis and a magnitude of 20 m/s.
