Explanation a) Concept: Using simple trigonometry, we can find the components of the given vectors. b) Formulae: 1. a x = a c o s θ 2. a y = a s i n θ c) Given: i. Magnitude of a → is 17.0 m and directed angle θ = 56.0 0 counterclockwise. ii. Second coordinate system directed angle θ ' = 18.0 0 with respect to the first system. d) Calculations: With a = 17 and θ = 56 0 . Then components are a x = a c o s θ = 17 × 0.559 = 9.51 m & a y = a s i n θ = 17 × 0
