Can someone help me with my physics homework?
1. A vector quantity is something that is specified by a magnitude and a direction. Displacement is a vector quantity that is a measure of change in position, displacement is given with a unit and a reference point, 90 miles from Orlando is a scalar quantity while 90 miles East of Orlando is displacement Velocity is a vector whose magnitude is called speed but it must have a direction to be a vector quantity. Acceleration is the change of velocity over the change in time 2. To break a non-horizontal/vertical vector you will need to use trig to help you do this, depending on what component you are using you will either use sin or cos. if you are breaking down vector in a positive direction for the x component the equation is sin (theta) = opposite/hypotenuse and the y component will be cos(theta) = adjacent/ hypotenuse. example a vector with magnitude of 5N at 45 degrees above the horizontal to get the x you take sin(45)(magnitude(or hypotenuse) and that will give you x which should be
