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.
What else can I help you with?
Can a vector have a component greater than the magnitude of vector?
no a vector cannot have a component greater than the magnitude of vector
Will a vector be zero if anyone of its component is zero?
If any component of a vector is not zero, then the vector is not zero.
Can a vector have a component greater than the vector's magnitude?
No, a vector's component cannot be greater than the vector's magnitude. The magnitude represents the maximum possible magnitude of a component in any direction.
Can you explain how to square a vector?
To square a vector, you need to multiply each component of the vector by itself and then add up the results. This is also known as finding the magnitude squared of the vector.
Vector component greater than the vectors magnitude?
can a vector have a component greater than the vector magnitude
Can a vector have a component greater than the magnitude of the vector?
No, a vector component is a projection of the vector onto a specific direction. It cannot have a magnitude greater than the magnitude of the vector itself.
What are vector components?
prrpendicular projections of a vector called component of vector
Can a component of vector greater than vector magnitude?
No, a component of a vector cannot be greater than the magnitude of the vector itself. The magnitude of a vector is the maximum possible value that can be obtained from its components.
How do you find the component of a vector perpendicular to another vector?
The component of a vector x perpendicular to the vector y is x*y*sin(A) where A is the angle between the two vectors.
What is the difference between a resultant vector and a component vector?
Oh, dude, okay, so like, a resultant vector is the overall effect of two or more vectors combined, while a component vector is just one of the vectors that make up the resultant. It's like saying the whole pizza is the resultant, and the pepperoni and cheese slices are the component vectors. So, basically, the resultant is the big picture, and the components are just the pieces that make it up.
Why only cos theta is used in vector functions?
It's not. Cos(Θ) only gives you the x-component of a vector. In order to find its y-component, you also need to use sin(Θ).
Can the component of a vector ever be greater than the magnitude of the vector?
No.
