Question

a force of 40 newtons makes an angle of 45° along the x axis what will be its right angle component​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

When decomposing a vector [math]\left| \vec{V} \right| = V[/math], we always have that one of the legs is [math]V_s = V \sin(\theta)[/math] and one is [math]V_c = V \cos(\theta)[/math]. Note that I’m avoiding using subscripts x & y here because the legs needn’t be parallel to the x & y axes - you are welcome to decompose a vector into any coordinate system.
