QUESTION:
Problem 5E
Section 3.3 Coordinate Systems and Vector Components
A position vector in the first quadrant has an x -component of 8 m and a magnitude of 10 m. What is the value of its y -component?
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 3
For the given position vector with magnitude \(r=10 \mathrm{~m}\) is at an angle \(\theta\) above the \(x\)-axis, with the \(x\)-component of vector as \(r_{x}=8 m\) and we need to find the \(y\)-component \(r_{y}=?\) of the vector.
