Vectors and How to Find Components | Physics - Basics

Vectors! They're like scalars, but more exciting. They show up everywhere in physics: displacement vectors, velocity vectors, force vectors, momentum vectors... To make vectors more useful, and to do vector addition and subtraction, we'll need to know how to find the components of a vector from its magnitude and direction (an angle). We can do that by using what we know about right triangles and the trig functions.
