Question

The magnitude of vector A is 15.0 units and points in the direction 330° counterclockwise from the positive x-axis. Calculate the x- and y-components of this vector.

Answer 1

`V_(x)` = 12.99 ,
`V_(y)` = -7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

v=15units , θ=330°

the magnitude of the horizontal and vertical components are gotten by the formula below

`V_(x)` = Vcosθ

`V_(y)` = Vsinθ

`V_(x)` = 15*cos330

`V_(x)` = 12.99 (positive implies to the right)

`V_(y)` =15*sin330

`V_(y)` = -7.5 (negative implies downwards)
