Answer from: cody4976

Option b, cosine.

Explanation:

Below you can see an image that illustrates this situation.

Remember that for a triangle rectangle with a given angle θ, we have:

Cos(θ) = (adjacent cathetus)/(hypotenuse)

In the image, you can see a vector of magnitude M, and the angle θ defined between the vector and the positive y-axis.

In this case, the y-component is the adjacent cathetus and the hypotenuse is the magnitude of the vector.

Then we will have:

Cos(θ) = (adjacent cathetus)/(hypotenuse) = y/M

solving that for y, we get:

y = Cos(θ)*M

Then the y-component is the vector's magnitude multiplied by the cosine of the angle between the vector and the y-axis.

The correct option is b.

(b) cosine

Explanation:

In a 2-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system, a vector has a x-component and/or a y-component. To get these components, the magnitude of the vector is resolved with respect to the x-axis and the y-axis by multiplying it (the magnitude) by some trigonometric function with respect to the angle between the vector and the x or y axis.

For example, given a vector A of magnitude A which makes an angle α with the x-axis and an angle β with the y-axis, the x and y components of the vector A can be found as follows;

i. x-component is given by $A_{x}$

$A_{x}$ = A cos α (with respect to the angle between A and the x-axis) or

$A_{x}$ = A sin β (with respect to the angle between A and the y-axis)

ii. y-component is given by $A_{y}$

$A_{y}$ = A sin α (with respect to the angle between A and the x-axis) or

$A_{y}$ = A cos β (with respect to the angle between A and the y-axis)

Therefore, the y-component of a vector in a 2-dimensional Cartesian coordinate is given by the product of the magnitude of the vector and the cosine of the angle between the vector and the y-axis.

We will use a video to study faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction by analyzing the induction that occurs due a coil of copper wire sliding along an air track that passes through an external magnetic field. specifically, we will: examine some of the main principles behind faraday’s law. apply lenz’s law to determine the direction of the induced emf. take measurements of the induced emf from the voltmeter as the coil passes into and out of the external magnetic field. use the horizontal scale provided to determine the speed of the coil. calculate the magnetic field induced in the coil as it passes into and out of the external magnetic field.
