`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), 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.
