Resolving Vectors - A Level Physics

This video introduces and explains resolving vectors for A Level Physics.

Resolving vectors using trigonometry and SOH-CAH-TOA, resolves a vector into two components. We often resolve a vector into horizontal and vertical components, north and south components or parallel and perpendicular components to a surface.

Thanks for watching,

Lewis

Your explanations are amazing
Like how you continuously relate to a real life situations
Please keep making more videos for Alevel !

Thank you!

[sylvieeatsghosts]

so well explained for me as someone who takes physics alevel without maths

[talkingbtr-a]

Note: when he says Hurricane, thats the name of the model plane

The Hawker Hurrican which was used extensively in WW2 by RAF

[amrosama]

Top explanation mate continue this beautiful work 👍👍

[shumailkhan]

the video is great but the sound of that pen against the paper bothers me immensely

[anwarsadath]

For Physics videos: physics online, Chemistry videos: Tyler DeWitt Now where will I go for biology

[mohamedabdihakim]

Subscribed to you on all three of my accounts. You nail it all the time. Keep it up!

[Geri_kariba]

Okay but sir what pens are those and where can I get them please? Tia

[fizayasin]

It was a really good explanation but i don't understand where did you get angle 60 degrees from?

[Natto_Raion]

so this is a very late comment but hold up... isn't the formula of cos supposed to be perpendicular/base and cos^-1 being base/perpendicular

[hangettingstronger]

How do you know which angle should be the resultant’s angle? There are two unknown angles so?

[mariehill]

Just a question, what is the difference between deceleration and decreasing acceleration?

[lorryharry]

In Ocr a do we need to know how to add non perpendicular vectors?

[imanepink]

Is this suitable for the new spec for OCR A?

[zaibkhan]

what i dont understand is, why do you draw that vertical line of 60 degrees?
