Question #137566

A vector has a magnitude of 217 m/s at an angle of 279 degrees. What are the x and y components of the vector?

Expert's answer

If the 279° were counted from positive x-direction, the components will be

"v_x=v\\text{ cos}\\theta=33.9\\text{ m\/s},\\\\\nv_y=v\\text{ sin}\\theta=-214\\text{ m\/s}."
