The horizontal or x component of the vector is 53.5 m.
What is the x component?
We know that a vector quantity must posses both magnitude and direction. In this case, of a vector is inclined at an angle then the vector could have a vertical and a horizontal component. Recall that vector may have have;
- A vertical component
- A horizontal component
Recall that when we resolve a vector, we are able to obtain the effective component of the vector in the given direction. It could be vertical or horizontal.
The horizontal component of the vector is V cos θ where V is the numerical value of the vector.
Thus the horizontal component is;
55.1 m Cos 13.9 = 53.5 m
