This is needed in several cases, for example:

  • To calculate the force of friction, you need the "normal" force, that is, the force perpendicular to the surface of contact.
  • To add two vectors, you need to add the components in every dimension separately.

If you do the exercises in your physics book, you will probably get ideas for more applications.
