The vector has components +5 and +7 along the x- and y-axes respectively. along a set of axes rotated 90 degrees counterclockwis
e relative to the original axes, the vector's components are
2 answers:
Refer to the diagram shown below.
Let the coordinates of the rotated vector be (a,b).
From the Pythagorean theorem,
d = √(5² + 7²) = 8.6023
The angle θ is given by
tan θ = 7/5 = 1.4
θ = tan⁻¹ 1.4 = 54.46°
φ = 180 - (90 + 54.46) = 35.54°
The coordinates of the rotated vector are
a = - d cos φ = - 8.6023*cos(35.54) = 7
b = d sin φ = 8.6023*sin(35.54) = 5
Answer: (-7, 5)
