Final answer:
To determine the east and north components of vector A with a magnitude of 100, the angle of the vector relative to the east or north must be known. Without this angle, it is impossible to calculate the exact components.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the east and north components of a vector A with a magnitude of 100, you would need the angle of the vector concerning the east (x-axis) or north (y-axis). However, this angle is not provided in the question. Typically, you would use trigonometric functions to break down the vector into its components - vector Ax (east component) and vector Ay (north component) - using the angle given. If the vector is angled θ degrees north of east, its eastward (x-component) would be calculated as Ax = A * cos(θ) and the northward (y-component) as Ay = A * sin(θ).
For example, if vector A were 20° north of east, the components would be:
- Ax = 100 * cos(20°)
- Ay = 100 * sin(20°)
Without the angle, it is not possible to determine the exact components.
