Select two axes in a 2-d plane along which you want the vector components (3 axes in 3-d and so on). The axes must meet at a point, but need not be perpendicular.
In 2-d, draw a parallelogram so that its diagonal is the given vector and the adjacent sides are parallel to the axes. These adjacent sides will represent the components of the vector.
If the axes are at right angles and the vector Vmakes an angle t with the positive horizontal axis, then
horizontal component = V*cost
and
vertical component = V*sint

What are vector components?
prrpendicular projections of a vector called component of vector
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.
Can a vector directed along x-axis have y-axis component?
At what angle should a vector be directed to so that its x component is equal to its y component
How do you find the x and y components of a vector?
Suppose the magnitude of the vector is V and its direction makes an angle A with the x-axis, then the x component is V*Cos(A) and the y component is V*Sin(A)
How do you find sum of both vector?
Two methods can be used for vector addition. (1) Graphically. Place the vectors head-to-tail, without changing their direction or size. (2) Analytically, that is, mathematically. Add the x-component and the y-component separately. The z-component too, if the vectors are in three dimensions.
What is the difference between a resultant vector and a component vector?
The resultant vector describes the complete vector, magnitude and direction; while the component vector describes a single component of a vector, like the x-component. If the resultant vector has only one component, the resultant and the component are the same and there is no difference.t
What is a Resultant Vectors?
resultant vector is a vector which will have the same effect as the sum of all the component vectors taken together.
How do you find the components to a vector?
Given the vector in angle-radius form? y-component=r sin(theta), x-component=r cos(theta)
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.
Vector component greater than the vectors magnitude?
can a vector have a component greater than the vector magnitude
What are vector components?
prrpendicular projections of a vector called component of vector
Which is the component form of the vector that describes the straight path of a vehicle from Millville to Shantytown?
-1, 2
Can a vector have a component greater than the magnitude of the vector?
No.
Can a vector have a component greater than the vector's magnitude?
No.
Can a component of vector greater than vector magnitude?
No.
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.
