You do not have to. You could use polar coordinates, if you prefer.


How a vector can be expressed polar component?

I will assume a vector in a plane - in two dimensions. The idea of polar coordinates is that the vector is expressed as its length, and an angle. If you already have the vector in rectangular coordinates, i.e. the x and y components, most scientific calculators have a function that might be labelled R->P, to convert from rectangular coordinates to polar coordinates. Otherwise, use basic trigonometry - but using the specialized function is much faster, if your calculator has it.


True or False: One advantage of polar equations is that you can use a polar function to describe a graph whose equation in rectangular coordinates would not be considered a function?

True


450 neuton on a 10 degree angle and 380 neuton on a 30 degree angle. What are the resultant of two forces?

You can use a scientific calculator to convert from polar coordinates (length and direction) to rectangular coordinates (x-coordinate and y-coordinate). Most calculators have such a function directly; it is much easier to use this, than to use the special trigonometric formulae. Then, add the x- and y-components separate. You may want to convert the end-result back to polar coordinates - once again, use the special functions on your calculator, in this case, rectangular-to-polar conversion.


How do you solve for a spherical triangle?

If by sperical triangle you mean a triangle on the surface of a sphere, you will need 3 dimensional coordinate geometry. Whether you use polar coordinates or linear coordinates will depend on what you want to "solve".


What is the magnitude and direction of the resultant force of this situation Both angles have 30N force vector one is at 34 degrees and vector two is at 76 degrees 22 degrees between the two?

To add two vectors, you add the components. The angles are specified in polar coordinates (magnitude and angle); use the same convention for both angles (for example, measure them from the x-axis counterclockwise), then use your scientific calculator to convert from polar coordinates to rectangular coordinates. Most scientific calculators have a P->R conversion. After that, you can add the components of the vectors separately. Since you want the magnitude and direction of the resultant force, you then need to convert back to polar coordinates (R->P conversion, on your calculator).


How does the Cartesian coordinate system apply to real life?

cartesian coordinates can be used in measuring distance and direction in relation to a systems to rigid bodies. you could also use cartesian while graphing. also u could use it when you're selling. The best example of coordinates in everyday life is use of longitude and latitude on globe. Each unique location on the earth has a unique combination of longitude and latitude. Global positioning system used by radio taxi operators also uses x,y coordinates to find exact location of a vehicle.
