How to Find Vector Components?
Trigonometric ratios show the relationship between the magnitude of the vector and the components of the vector. Using “Pythagoras theorem” in right triangles with lengths \(v_x\) and \(v_y\): Vector Components – Example 1: \(\color{blue}{v_x= v \cos θ}\) \(\color{blue}{v_y= v \sin θ}\) \(v_x= v\cos 60° \) → \(v_x= 20×\frac{1}{2}= \frac{20}{2}=10\) \(v_y= v\sin 60° \) → \(v_y= […]
