What are the components of vector a

Option (A)

Explanation:

From the picture attached,

Given : Vector A with magnitude 12 m.

To Find : Components of vector A.

There are two components of any vector.

1). Horizontal component

2). Vertical component

If vector A represents the velocity, horizontal component of a vector decides the horizontal motion and vertical component decides the vertical motion.

To find these components we draw a right triangle OBA as shown in the figure,

From ΔOBA,

Sin(37)° =

             =

     = 12Sin(37)°

     = 7.22 m

     = 12Cos(37)°

     = 9.58 m

Therefore, Option (1) is the correct option.
