- A force of 150. N is exerted 22° north of east. Find the northward and eastward components of this force.
- An automobile travels a displacement of 75 km 45° north of east. How far east does it travel and how far
north does it travel?
- axial component:A component situated in or on an axis.
- resolution of vectors:Any vector directed at an angle to the horizontal (or the vertical) can be thought of
as having two parts (or components) that lie on the axes (one horizontal and one vertical). The process of
identifying these two components is known as the resolution of the vector.
