The polar coordinates of a point are r = 5.10 m and θ = 270°. What are the Cartesian coordinates of this point? Find x and y.
1) Given r = 5.10 and θ = 270°, we can find x using the formula x = rcosθ and y using the formula y = rsinθ
2) x = (5.10)cos(270) = 0
3) y = (5.10)sin(270) = -5.1
Therefore, x = 0 and y = -5.1
