Question

Find the y-component of thisvector:12.0 m73.3°Remember, angles are measured fromthe +X axis.y-component (m)

Answer 1

Given data:

The magnitude of the given vector is,

`A=12.0\text{ m}`

An angle between the given vector and +x axis is,

`\theta=73.3^o`

The formula of y-component is as follows:

`A_y=A\sin \theta`

Here,

`A\text{ is the magnitude of the given vector-A}`

Now, substitute known values in above equation;

`\begin{gathered} A_y=12\text{ m}*\sin 73.3^o \\ A_y=11.49\text{ m} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the y-component of the given vector is 11.49 m
