The x and y-components of the vector R is 44.15i + 23.47j.
The given parameters:
- Magnitude of vector R = 50 m
- Position of vector R = 28 degrees
What is component vectors?
- This is the representation of vectors in x and y-coordinates.
The x and y-components of the vector R is calculated as follows;
[tex]R_x = R \times cos(\theta)\\\\R_y = R \times sin(\theta)\\\\R_x = 50 \times cos(28) = 44.15 \ i\\\\R_y = 50 \times sin(28) = 23.47 \ j[/tex]
R is a unit vector.
The plot of vector R is in the image uploaded.
