How can you resolve a vector into its horizontal and vertical components?
Use algebra to calculate horizontal component = magnitude + cos(angle) and vertical component = magnitude + sin(angle)
Use calculus to calculate horizontal component = magnitude * tan(angle) and vertical component = magnitude * cot(angle)
Use geometry to calculate horizontal component = magnitude / cos(angle) and vertical component = magnitude / sin(angle)
Use trigonometry to calculate horizontal component = magnitude * cos(angle) and vertical component = magnitude * sin(angle)
If a vector has a magnitude of 5 and makes an angle of 30 degrees with the x-axis, what are its horizontal and vertical components?
Horizontal component ≈ 4.33, Vertical component = 2.5
Horizontal component ≈ 5.5, Vertical component = 4.5
Horizontal component ≈ 4.5, Vertical component = 3.5
Horizontal component ≈ 3.5, Vertical component = 2.5

What is the formula for finding the magnitude of a vector given its horizontal and vertical components?
magnitude = x + y
magnitude = x * y
magnitude = sqrt(x^2 - y^2)
magnitude = sqrt(x^2 + y^2)
When adding two vectors, what is the result if they are perpendicular to each other?
The result is the magnitude of the vectors added together.
The result is the dot product of the vectors.
The result is zero.
The result is the cross product of the vectors.
How can you find the direction of a vector given its horizontal and vertical components?
direction = tan^-1(vertical component / horizontal component)
direction = vertical component / horizontal component
direction = sin^-1(vertical component / horizontal component)
direction = cos^-1(vertical component / horizontal component)
