A displacement vector points in a direction of θ = 23° left of the positive y-axis. The magnitude of this vector is D = 155 m. Refer to the figure. Enter an expression for the x-component vector, Dx, in terms of D, θ, and the unit vectors i and j.

Dₓ = -155 sin 23° i + 0 j

Explanation:

The diagram showing the vector has been attached to this response.

As shown in the diagram,

The vector D has an x-component (also called horizontal component) of -D sinθ i. i.e

Dₓ = -D sin θ i   [The negative sign shows that D lies in the negative x direction]

Where;

D = magnitude of D = 155m

θ = direction of D = 23°

Therefore;

Dₓ = -155 sin 23° i

Since Dₓ represents the x component, its unit vector, j component has a value of 0.

Therefore, Dₓ can be written in terms of D, θ and the unit vectors i and j as follows;

Dₓ = -155 sin 23° i + 0 j

the skeletons of most mammals reach a certain size and then stop growing. however, many animals, including some mammals, keep growing throughout their lives. kangaroos, for example, just keep growing and growing until they die. also, the longer an animal lives the greater the chance it might catch some deadly disease.
