What is meant by rectangular components of a force?

For simplicity consider a force whose direction does not correspond to either the x- or y-axis. At the head of the force (where the arrow is) draw a vertical line to the horizontal axis and a horizontal line to the vertical axis. The force is now enclosed by the lines you have drawn and the axes and this enclosure is a rectangle. Since a rectangle is also a parallelogram this means that you have also resolved the given vector into two components, namely, the one given by the portion of the horizontal axis between the origin and where your vertical line meets that axis, and the one given by the portion of the vertical axis between the origin and where your horizontal line meets that axis. These two vectors are the rectangular components of the given force.

How do you determine which side is the x value and what side is the y value when you are given a chart?

The axes of any chart should be labelled. Usually the horizontal axis is the x-axis and the vertical axis is the y-axis. But, if you are given a square piece of graph paper with two axes on it and either a scatter plot or a line, and no labels nor data then you do not have a chance.


What are the two ways to describe a position?

If you mean in a 2-dimensional plane, the two ways I know of are Cartesian coordinates and polar coordinates. In the Cartesian coordinate system, there are 2 perpendicular axes, a horizontal and vertical (usually these are label x and y respectively). In this system, position is given by the distance from the origin (the center of the grid where x and y = 0) in the x and y direction. For example, if a point is 3 units away from the origin in the horizontal direction and 1 unit in the vertical the direction, the point is at (3,1) ( the 3 is the x and the 1 is the y). In polar coordinates, the position of a point is given by its distance from the origin (r) and the angle the line r makes with the horizontal axis. This angle is positive in the counterclockwise direction from the right side horizontal axis.
