Download Drawing X And Y Components Of Vectors Images. So, we wanna break this vector down into it's horizontal and it's vertical components, or it's x and y components. You can go further by relating each.

The arrow is drawn to scale so that its length represents the magnitude of the vector, and the arrow points in the tem in problems involving vector quantities. Draw a vertical and horizontal line from the ends of the vector to form a right triangle. The vector sum a + b is the vector joining the tail of a to the tip of b and pointing toward the tip of b.

You can go further by relating each.

Draw each of the following vectors, then find its x and y components. The resultant vector (drawn in black and labeled r) in the vector addition diagram above is not the hypotenuse of any immediately obvious right trangle. You can go further by relating each. The components of a vector represent, informally, how much of the vector points in (often) along horizontal (x) and vertical (y) lines.
