vector w has magnitude 25.0 and direction angle 41.7 degrees. Calculate the horizontal and vertical components of w
1 answer:
Consider the attached picture. It represents a vector, centered in the origin with angle 41.7 degrees, and a circumference with radius 25, centered in the origin.
As you can see, the horizontal and vertical components of the vector correspond to the lengths of segments OD and OC, respectively.
You might recognize this scenario from you trigonometry class: if the circle had radius 1, we would have
Since the circle has radius 25, we have to scale those coordinates:

Benchmark are numbers that are used as standards to which the rest of the data is compared to. When counting numbers using a number line, the benchmark numbers are the intervals written on the axis. For benchmark numbers of 10, the number line on top of the attached picture is shown. Starting from 170, the tick marks are added by 10, such that the next numbers are 180, 190, 200, and so on and so forth. When you want to find 410, just find the benchmark number 410.
The same applies to benchmark numbers in intervals of 100. If you want to find 170, used the benchmark numbers 100 and 200. Then, you estimate at which point represents 170. For 410, you base on the benchmark numbers 400 and 500.
