`Delta y = |Deltar|* sin theta`

vCalc Reviewed
`Delta y = r * sin theta`
`|r|" Magnitude of "Deltar.`
`(theta) "The angle between the vector r and the x axis."`

The y component formula, Δy =|Δr|•sin(Θ), /attachments/90eb4fba-e6d4-11e5-9770-bc764e2038f2/V2 - r.png Vector r componentscomputes the y component of the vector r .

INSTRUCTIONS: Enter the following:

  • (Θ)  The angle between the x axis and the vector r.
  • (|Δr|) The magnitude of vector r

The calculator returns the y component (Δy) in kilometers.  However, this can be automatically converted to other length units via the pull-down menu.
