1.5.A—Describe the perpendicular components of a vector

Describe the perpendicular components of a vector.

• Vectors can be mathematically modeled as the resultant of two perpendicular components.
• Vectors can be resolved into components using a chosen coordinate system.
• Vectors can be resolved into perpendicular components using trigonometric functions and relationships. Relevant equations: sin cos tan += ab c22 2 TOPIC 1.5 Vectors and Motion in Two Dimensions
