@TuringTest I feel like you'd like this problem a lot.
@Hero are you up for this one?:P
not really a challenge if you know what they are asking for a vector of magnitude |V| at an angle theta, the component form is\[\vec V=|V|\cos\theta\hat i+|V|\sin\theta\hat j\]so just break out the calculator and calculate each component, i and j
|V| For this would be..
20?
the length (magnitute) of the original vector yes, 20
magnitude*
So 20cos(60)i+20sin(60)j?
if they want it measured from 0 as north, then yeah
10i+10sqrt(3)j?
Or would theta be 30? Since it does state theta=30?
oh I misread, 60 is 30 from north confusing lol they tell you straight out that theta is 30, so I think that's what you should use
20cos(30)+20sin(30)?
yeah, I believe so
i and j are important though
10sqrt(3)i+10j?
Strange, it just flipflopped.
not strange\[\cos\theta=\sin(\pi-\theta)\]that's what happened here
sorry\[\cos\theta=\sin(\frac\pi2-\theta)\]
I'll learn that after this assignment, right now i only have 30 minutes left to do a problem that only Amistre would get!:(
Well you might, not sure.
I'll post a new one.
worth a shot
