Algebra.Com's Answer #849100 by CPhill(1959)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Here's how to find the x and y components of the vector *v*:\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "* **Magnitude of v (||v||):** 29 units \n" ); document.write( "* **Direction angle (θ):** 25 degrees\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "* **x-component (v_x):** ||v|| * cos(θ) \n" ); document.write( " v_x = 29 * cos(25°) \n" ); document.write( " v_x ≈ 29 * 0.9063 \n" ); document.write( " v_x ≈ 26.28\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "* **y-component (v_y):** ||v|| * sin(θ) \n" ); document.write( " v_y = 29 * sin(25°) \n" ); document.write( " v_y ≈ 29 * 0.4226 \n" ); document.write( " v_y ≈ 12.25\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Rounding to the nearest whole number:\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "* **x-component:** 26 units \n" ); document.write( "* **y-component:** 12 units \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
