Question

A) What is the y component of the vector given in the diagram? (120 N, 50 °) 120 N 50⁰ (C) 60 N (B) 92 N (D) 120 N (A) 77N

​

Answer 1

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

The y component of the vector is given by the formula:

y component = magnitude of the vector x sin(angle between the vector and the y-axis)

In this case, the magnitude of the vector is 120 N and the angle between the vector and the y-axis is 50 degrees. So we have:

y component = 120 N x sin(50°) ≈ 92 N

Therefore, the answer is (B) 92 N.
