If the initial velocity is v, at an angle x to the horizontal, then the vertical component is v*sin(x) and the horizontal component is v*cos(x).
Ask Sir JB.
Vertical is up and horizontal is across
No. Up-down is vertical. Horizontal is perpendicular to vertical.
horizontal is side to side vertical is up and down
The horizontal and vertical parts of a vector are called components
Force can be resolved into horizontal and vertical components using vector analysis. However stress cannot be resolved into horizontal and vertical components using vector analysis since it is not a vector but a tensor of second order.
Horizontal and vertical components which need to be treated independently from each other when working out either the horizontal or vertical motion.
Its either reality based (vertical is up-down, horizontal is ground distance) or it's purely arbitrary.
The horizontal and vertical components don't change. In fact, weight is completely vertical, and has no horizontal component at all, regardless of what the object happens to be sitting on. But the components parallel to the ramp and normal to the ramp depend on the slope of the ramp.
Horizontal . . . acceleration is zero, speed is constant Vertical . . . acceleration is 'G' downward, speed constantly increases downward
Think about the direction that the cat is moving. Does the cat's movement have a horizontal component? Or is the movement strictly vertical?
If the initial velocity is v, at an angle x to the horizontal, then the vertical component is v*sin(x) and the horizontal component is v*cos(x).
Ask Sir JB.
If the object is thrown upwards, the vertical acceleration is negative and the horizontal acceleration is zero.
A vector at 45 degrees to the horizontal will always be larger than its two components because the two smaller components always combine together in order to equal the Vector.
Projectile motion has two components horizontal motion and vertical motion. Gravity affects only the vertical motion of projectile motion.
