Vector a has a y-component of +9.60 m and makes an angle of 32.0 degrees counterclockwise from the y-axis. what is the x-component?

Respuesta :

For this case we have that the x component can be found using the following trigonometric relationship:
 tan (90 + 32) = 9.60 / x
 From here, we clear the x component.
 We have then:
 x = 9.60 / tan (122)
 x = -5.99 m
 Answer:
 
the x-component is:
 
x = -5.99 m
