The x and y components of the object's acceleration is 7.99 m/s² and 6.02 m/s² respectively.

How to draw the vector diagram of the acceleration?

The vector diagram of the object's acceleration will consist of the a line drawn at 30 degrees east north as shown in the diagram.

The components of the object's acceleration is calculated as;

ax = a cos (θ)

ax = 10 m/s² x cos (37)

ax = 7.99 m/s²

ay = a sin(θ)

ay = 10 m/s² x sin (37)

ay = 6.02 m/s²

The vector diagram is shown in the image attached.
