Question

Often a vector is specified by a magnitude and a direction; for example, a rope with tension exerts a force of magnitude in a direction 35 north of east. This is a good way to think of vectors; however, to calculate results with vectors, it is best to select a coordinate system and manipulate the components of the vectors in that coordinate system.

part a:Find the components of the vector with length = 1.00 and angle =10.0 with respect to the x axis as shown.

partb:Find the components of the vector with length = 1.00 and angle =15.0 with respect to the x axis as shown.

part c:Find the components of the vector with length = 1.00 and angle 35.0 as shown.

Explanation / Answer

although i don't have the figure to the question. I am trying to attempt it from the information provided. Horizontal component = Always takes Cos a) Vertical component : 1 Sin 10. = 0.174     Horizontal component = 1 Cos 10= 0.984 b)vertical component = 1 Sin 15= 0.258 Horizontal component = 1 cos 15=0.965 c) Horizontal component = 1cos 35=0.819 vertical component = 1 sin 35= 0.573
