Question

Kindly explain fast .
2 vectors have magnitudes of 10m and 15m. The angle between them when they are drawn with their tails at the same point is 65◦ . The component of the longer vector along the line perpendicular to the shorter vector, in the plane of the vectors, is: "

Answer 1

vector vector vector

Answer 2

Answer:

The component of the longer vector along the line perpendicular to the shorter vector is 13.5m

Explanation:

• There are two components of a vector horizontal and vertical components one is given by cos theta whereas another by sin theta.

• The component of the longer vector along the line perpendicular to the shorter vector is given by 15 sin 65 (value of sin 65= 0.906)

        It will be equals to 15 × 0.906 = 13.5m
