Answer:

$a_x=34.64\ m.$

Step-by-step explanation:

Rectangular components of a vector

Given a vector
$\vec a$ , the x-component and y-component of the vector are given respectively by:

$a_x=|\vec a|.\cos\theta$

$a_y=|\vec a|.\sin\theta$

Where
$\theta$ is the angle measured with respect to the positive horizontal direction.

Let's calculate the horizontal component of a vector with magnitude 40 m and angle 330°

$a_x=40\ m.\cos330^\circ$

$\boxed{a_x=34.64\ m.}$
