Question

what are the x and y components of the vector that has a magnitude of 4N and a direction of 30 degrees

Answer 1

Answer:

We are given

vector as 4N and direction 30°

So since X-component is

adjacent /hypotenuse which is cosine we have

= 4 cos 30 = 3.46 N

And Y-component which is opposite/hypotenuse we have

= 4 sin 30 = 2N
