A force vector is represented as (10 N, 0 N) along the x-axis. If the system is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise, what will its new components be?
💡 Hint: Think about what a 90-degree rotation does to the orientation of the axes!
You have a vector expressed as (2, -3) in one coordinate system. The second coordinate system is rotated 60 degrees clockwise. What are the new coordinates?
💡 Hint: Remember to use co-functions for the angles when computing trigonometric values.
