Question

What is the component form of a vector with magnitude 8 and direction 120°120°?

Answer 1

Given:

A vector with a magnitude 8 and a direction 120°

The component form of the vector will be as follows:

`\begin{gathered} x-component=8*cos(120)=8*(-(1)/(2))=-4 \\ y-component=8*sin(120)=8*((√(3))/(2))=4√(3) \end{gathered}`

So, the answer will be, the given vector will be as follows:

`v=<-4,4√(3)>`
