Determine the Northward and the Eastward components of a 75 m long displacement vector which points in a direction of 27^o E of N.

Eastward = 34.05m

Northward = 66.8m

Explanation:

First, let's define our coordinate axis.

I will choose the North as the positive y-axis and the East as the positive x-axis.

Now we will work with polar coordinates, r and θ and remember that if we want to recover the rectangular coordinates, we need to compute:

x = r*cos(θ)

y = r*sin(θ)

(remember that θ is measured counterclockwise from the positive x-axis)

Now we have:

"... 75 m long displacement vector..."

r = 75m

"...points in a direction of 27° E of N..."

This means that the measure is from the positive y-axis, clockwise (so this is not equivalent to θ).

Now, remember that the angle between the positive y-axis and the positive x-axis is 90°.

Then we will have that θ is the complementary angle to 27°, or:

θ = 90° - 27° = 63°

Now we have θ and r, then we can calculate the rectangular components:

x = 75m*cos(63°) = 34.05m (this is the Eastward component)

y = 75m*sin(63°) = 66.8m (this is the Northward component)

increasing transnational kinetic energy. because the transnational kinetic energy formula consists of only two variables, mass and velocity, increasing one of those properties is the only way to increase an object's transnational kinetic energy. increases to mass and velocity, however, do not have the same impact.
