Question

The vector \vec{\textbf{A}}A in the (x,y)(x,y) plane has magnitude A = 3.8A=3.8 and makes angle \theta = 123^\circθ=123∘ with the x axis, where \thetaθ is measured in the geometric or anticlockwise sense. What are the components of \vec{\textbf{A}}A in the x and y directions? Hint: draw a sketch first.

Write your answer in the form: x, y. For example: 1.5, 2.0

Answer 1

Answer:

Vy = V*sin 127° = 3.6*0.8 = 2.88

Vx = V*cos 127° = 3.6*0.6 = -2.16

V = (-2.16 ; 2.88)
