I'm trying to help someone do a project in MATLAB. They were given this information:

---
The velocity vector of the wind can be expressed in terms of the slope (the tangential line) at any point on the circle as (1,m), where m is the slope. Find the velocity vector for a wind speed of 35 m/s.
---

In MATLAB, whenever I use a quiver plot for my own work, I always have functions that describe the u and v components. You can also give it explicit values for the components. But I'm not really sure how to get vector components to use in MATLAB for the info above (it's been a long time since I've done much vector analysis).

Is there a simple way in MATLAB to do something like this?

Thanks much!
