`Delta x = r * cos theta`
`|r|" Magnitude of "Deltar.` | ||
`(theta) "The angle between the vector r and the x axis."` | ||
The x component formula, Δx =|Δr|•cos(Θ), 
Vector r componentscomputes the x 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 x component (Δx) in kilometers. However, this can be automatically converted to other length units via the pull-down menu.
