The objective of this video is to explain how to find the components of a vector V given its magnitude and direction with respect to the x-axis. The following 6 examples are discussed in this video. Example 1: V has a magnitude of 20 and is directed along the positive x-axis Example 2: V has a magnitude of 10 and is directed along the positive y-axis Example 3: V has a magnitude of 40 and is directed along the negative x-axis Example 4: V has a magnitude of 5 and makes an angle theta with the positive x-axis Example 5: V has a magnitude of 10 and makes an anglof e 140 degrees with the positive x-axis in an anticlockwise direction. Example 6: V has a magnitude of 20 and makes an angle 122 degrees with the positive x-axis but in a clockwise direction.
