Question

The components of a vector are the parts of the vectors that are__to each other.

a. perpendicular
b. parallel
c. 45 degrees
d. 30 degrees

Answer 1

(a)perpendicular , this option is right

Answer 2

Answer:'

Step-by-step explanation:

When ever we divide the vector into two components that is vertical component and horizontal components we construct both components perpendicular to each other as shown in figure.:

For example:

`\overset{\rightarrow }A=\frac{\overset{\rightarrow }A\sin \theta }{\overset{\rightarrow }A\cos \theta}`

`\overset{\rightarrow }A=\overset{\rightarrow }A\tan \theta`

`\theta` = It is the angle between the horizontal component and vector

Vertical component =
`\overset{\rightarrow }A\sin\theta`

Horizontal component =
`\overset{\rightarrow }A\cos\theta`

The components of a vector are the parts of the vectors that are perpendicular to each other
