Question

Find the y-component of this

vector:
0.250 m
18.40
Remember, angles are measured from
the +x axis.
y-component (m)
Enter​

Answer 1

-0.0789 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the y-component comes associated with the sin(18.4) through the following trigonometric relationship:

y = 0.250 sin(-18.4) ≈ -0.0789 m

Notice it is negative since it is below the x-axis.
