Understanding Vector Components: Decomposing and Analyzing Forces

This article delves into the concept of vector components, explaining how to break down a vector into its perpendicular components using trigonometric relationships. With practical examples, such as calculating force vectors and displacement movements, we will explore how to find the x, y, and z components of vectors. Learn to apply the component method to compute the resultant of multiple displacement vectors, enhancing your understanding of vector analysis in physics.

  5. Problem-39 The drawing shows a force vector that has a magnitude of 475 N. Find the (a) x, (b) y, and (c) z components of the vector.

  6. Vector Components A jogger runs 145 m in a direction 20.0° east of north (displacement vector A) and then 105 m in a direction 35.0° south of east (displacement vector B).

  7. Problem Find the resultant of the three displacement vectors in the drawing by means of the component method. The magnitudes of the vectors are A = 5.00 m, B = 5.00 m, and C = 4.00 m.
