To find the angle between 𝐴⃗ and the positive x-axis, we need to use the arctan function:

ΞΈ = arctan (magnitude of y-component / magnitude of x-component)

In this case, the y-component is 32.0 m and the x-component is -24.0 m. Since the x-component is negative, we need to take that into account when calculating the angle.

ΞΈ = arctan (32 / 24) = arctan (4/3) = 53.1 degrees

Therefore, the angle between 𝐴⃗ and the positive x-axis is C) 53.1.
