- An airplane flying due north at 90. km/h is being blown due west at 50. km/h. What is the resultant velocity
of the plane?
- 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.
