Boardworks Ltd 2015 Just as it is possible to add two vectors together to get a resultant vector, it is very often useful to break a ‘diagonal’ vector into its perpendicular components. Vector components This makes it easier to describe the motion of an object, and to do any relevant calculations. vertical component horizontal component Calculating components A vector can be separated into perpendicular components given only its magnitude and its angle from one of the component axes. This requires the use of trigonometry. For example, what are the horizontal and vertical components of a vector with a magnitude of 6 ms-1 and a direction of 60° from the horizontal? cos60° = x / 6 x = 6 × cos60 = 3 ms-1 sin60° = y / 6 y = 6 × sin60 = 5.2 ms-1 Vector components Velocity components Understanding vectors * ?
