Resolution of vectors


The process of splitting a vector is called resolution of a vector. In similar language it would determine the effect of a vector in a particular direction. The part of vector obtained after splitting the vector are known as the components of the Vector . The process of splitting a vector parts is called also resolution of vector


These parts of a vector may act in other directions is called component of vector. any vector directed at an angle to the horizontal (or the vertical) can be thought of as having two parts. That is, any vector directed in two dimensions can be thought of as having two components.

There are two methods of vector resolution that we will examine are …

  • The parallelogram method
  • The trigonometric method
  • pic

    These parts of a vector may act in different directions and are called "components of vector".
