Question

A vector having a magnitude of 15 unit makes an angle of 60° with the x-axis.
What is the horizontal and vertical component of vector?

Answer 1

here is your ans.

horizontal component of vector

= rcosQ

r = 15units

so , rcosQ = 15(cos60) = 15/2 ans.

vertical component= 15(sin60°)

= 15√3/2. ans

hope it helps ☺
