The initial point for a vector is the origin and theta denot
The initial point for a vector is the origin and theta denotes the angle (measured counterclockwise) from the x-axis to the vector. Compute the horizontal component V_x and vertical given vector.
Solution
Theta is the angle with the x-axis, so it is the angle with the horizontal....
So, vx = v * cos(theta)
vx = 14cos(130)
vx = -9.00
vy = vsin(theta)
vy = 14sin(130)
vy = 10.72
So, the answers are :
vx = -9
vy = 10.72
