The x-component and y-component of a vector of magnitude 10 m directed 37° above the +x-axis (cos 37° = 0.80, sin 37° = 0.60) are
A.8.0 m and 6.0 m
B.6.0 m and 8.0 m
C.10 m and 10 m
D.5.0 m and 5.0 m
Explanation
Core Concept
x = 10 cos 37° = 8.0 m; y = 10 sin 37° = 6.0 m.
Correct Answer
A8.0 m and 6.0 m
