Question

A vector is 0.888 m long and points in a 205 degree direction.

Answer 1

Answer:

-0.805 m

Explanation:

The x-component of a vector is given by:

$v_x = v cos \theta$

where

v is the magnitude of the vector

$\theta$ is the angle of the vector with respect to the positive x-direction

In this problem we have

v = 0.888 m

$\theta=205^{\circ}$

so we have

$v_x = (0.888 m)(cos 205^{\circ})=-0.805 m$
