If a vector is broken up into components the angle between the components is 90 degrees.
Here is how to solve this. Decide on a direction for each vector. Use your scientific calculator to do a polar-to-rectangular conversion - i.e., separate each vector in horizontal and vertical components. (Check your calculator's manual on how to carry out a polar-to-rectangular conversion.) Add the vectors by components. Finally, convert back to polar (rectangular-to-polar conversion, on your scientific calculator).
If the angle decreases, the magnitude of the resultant vector increases.
I disagree with the last response. It is implied that the angle you are speaking of is the angle between the x-axis and the vector (this conventionally where the angle of a vector is always measured from). The function you are asking about is the sine function. previous answer: This question is incorrect, first of all you have to tell the angle between vector and what other thing is formed?
That alone is not a vector, as a vector has both definite direction and amplitude, such as the course of an aircraft or the components of a triangle of forces. Drawing an angle of 180º between two straight lines would give simply one straight line, chaining one to the other.
