SOLUTION: Find the component form of the vector that represents the velocity of a ship traveling at a speed of 20 knots on a heading of 060 degrees. Note that due north is 0 degrees or 360 d

Question 581743: Find the component form of the vector that represents the velocity of a ship traveling at a speed of 20 knots on a heading of 060 degrees. Note that due north is 0 degrees or 360 degrees, and due east is 090 degrees. A course of 060 degrees would be 30 degrees north of due east, thus theta = 30 degrees

Find the component form of the vector that represents the velocity of a ship traveling at a speed of 20 knots on a heading of 060 degrees.
--------------
= 20*(i*cos(30) + j*sin(30))
