Question
Find the component form of $\mathrm{v}$ given its magnitude and the angle it makes with the positive $x$ -axis.$$\|\mathbf{v}\|=1, \quad \theta=3.5^{\circ}$$
Step 1
The formula is $\mathbf{v} = \|\mathbf{v}\|(\cos\theta, \sin\theta)$, where $\|\mathbf{v}\|$ is the magnitude of the vector and $\theta$ is the angle it makes with the positive x-axis. Show more…
