Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Resolve the vector A = 25 units at 60 degrees into its components. Find Ax and Ay, then calculate the magnitude of the vector.
💡 Hint: Use trigonometric functions to find components.
A vector B is at an angle of 120 degrees with a magnitude of 30. Resolve into components Bx and By, then find the total vector magnitude when combined with another vector C = 15 at 30 degrees.
💡 Hint: Remember to take direction into account while resolving and summing.
