Question

A vector has a magnitude of 8 in the 95 degree direction. what are the horizontal and vertical components?

Answer 1

Vertical component = 8 x sin(95) = 7.970 (4sf)
Horizontal component = 8 x cos(95) = -0.6972 (4sf)

Answer 2

Explanation:

x=8cos95degrees=-0.70

y=8sin95degrees=7.97

this is the correct answer if it tells you to round to the nearest hundredth
