Question

The magnitude of vector A is 15.0 units and points in the direction 330° counterclockwise from the positive x-axis. Calculate the x- and y-components of this vector.

Answer 1

Answer:

$V_{x}$ = 12.99 , $V_{y}$ = -7.5

Explanation:

v=15units , θ=330°

the magnitude of the horizontal and vertical components are gotten by the formula below

$V_{x}$ = Vcosθ

$V_{y}$ = Vsinθ

$V_{x}$ = 15*cos330

$V_{x}$ = 12.99 (positive implies to the right)

$V_{y}$ =15*sin330

$V_{y}$ = -7.5 (negative implies downwards)
