A vector of magnitude 10 has an angle with the positive x axis (east) of 120 degrees. what are its components

The angle with the positive x-axis is 120 degrees. We can assume that this angle is measured counterclockwise from the positive x-axis. We can find the x-component of the vector. x-component = 10 cos (120) = - 5 We can find the y-component of the vector. y-component = 10 sin (120) = 8.66 The x-component of the vector is - 5 and the y-component of the vector is 8.66
