A vector with a magnitude of 17.6 m is directed at angle θ = 43o counterclockwise from the +x axis. What are the components (a) ax and (b) ay of the vector? A second coordinate system is inclined by angle θ' = 20o with respect to the first. What are the components (c) a'x and (d) a'y in this primed coordinate system?

1 answer

17.6m[43o]
a. X = 17.6*cos43

b. Y = 17.6*sin43
