Resolving Vectors

This links to [[Physics - Combining Vectors]]S , since it’s like doing it in reverse.

What is resolving vectors??

Finding the horizontal and vertical component of a vector.

What is resolving vectors opposite to…??

Combining a vector.

How is the the horizontal component of $F$ written??

$F_x$.

What is $F_x$??

The horizontal component of vector $F$.

How is the the vertical component of $F$ written??

$F_y$.

What is $F_y$??

The vertical component of vector $F$.

What are the components of a vector??

The horizontal and vertical vectors that are at right angles and combine to give the original vector.

What do the horizontal and vertical components of a vector look like??

What is the formula for the vertical component of a vector $F$??

$$ F_y = F \sin \theta $$

What is the formula for $F_y$ of vector $F$??

$$ F_y = F \sin \theta $$

What is the formula for the horizontal component of a vector $F$??

$$ F_x = F \cos \theta $$

What is the formula for $F_x$ of vector $F$??

$$ F_x = F \cos \theta $$

If you’re moving through a force’s angle, you use??

$$ F \cos \theta $$

If you’re moving away from a force’s angle, you use??

$$ F \sin \theta $$

What is $F_x + F_y$??

$$ F $$
