17 - Calculating Vector Components in Physics, Part 1 (Component form of a Vector)

In this lesson we begin the study of vector physics, which is the part of physics that deals with using vectors to solve problems. The first step in solving vector problems is usually that break up the vector into components.

Using trigonometry, we break up the vector into a horizontal component and a vector component, and we use the component form of a vector to solve the physics equations in each direction separately.

For example, we use the horizontal components of of the force and velocity vector to solve the motion in the horizontal direction (x direction). Separately, we use the vertical components of the same vectors to solve for the vertical motion..

I learn so much more in a 30mins video from him than my 2 hours online lecture. I wish he's my actual teacher. Subscribed!

I was having that sinking feeling in my stomach after watching my professor’s lecture. The only thing I could think about was failing. Thank you so much for helping us. I learned in 30 minutes what I haven’t in 2 hours with my Professor. Keep up the good work! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! God bless you!

This guy is probably my favorite tutor/instructor! Thank you for the clear explanation and clarity. You have helped me get through several of my courses!

[SpinOxym]

With everything being virtual and being a college student who works, with a professor who honestly isn't that great at teaching. This, is what I needed from the start of my semester. Thank you.

Jason is unique because he explains the nitty-gritty of every bit of problems, he leaves no stone unturned. He is one of the wickedest professor in existence.
BIG UP to you father Js.

[PhylumVertebrae]

Learned stats, chemistry, and now physics with you. Thank you <3 Passed my chem test with 99% thanks to you

[AbrahamHailemichael]

WOW..., I have never seen a teacher like you. You really understand and know
the concept of physics. Thanks lot!!!

[davorebo]

Thank you so much ! I’m taking physics over the summer and missed the first day .. was completely lost . Thanks for catching me up

[weeeeeoow]

The best! More instructors like him are needed on Earth. All students would probably ace Physics. Thank you Sir!❤

[iamz_mbie]

Thank you so much for this video! I had so much trouble understanding this because my lesson is written and not through a lecture by a teacher.

[valwory]

It was this guy who really got me over my apprehension toward physics years ago.

SIR
Watched yr video on VECTOR COMPONENTS IN PHYSICS--PART1.
1. Well explained and well done.
2. All clear.
THANKS

I just want to understand why we need to learn these crazy stuffs. Why are they useful to human brains and how to be practical with all we get to learn is the reason why I'm here. And this guy, I think he is not doing bad in explaining all these maddness. Salute, Amen!

[temptationsfashion]

The my teacher taught this i was sleeping, than i decided to watch some tutorials, and i found this which really helped me, THANK YOU SOO MUCH 🤗

[jiajia]

Thank you so much! I’m super grateful I found your videos!! You’ve helped me so much to clearly understand what everything is and it’s meanings!! I’m taking physics in summer school so the lessons are so rushed and my teacher literally just writes down and narrates the questions instead of having time to explain everything.

Thank you so much 😌😌😌😃😃😃

[judypeng]

I never study physics and now I am trying to take college physics in a community college as adult. May I ask any basic knowledge do i need before I start college physics ? I really love your lectures!

[tomchilufya]

This guy explains extremely well...thanks

[yurinaakihiko]

For my reference :)

17:14 two dimensional needs 2 numbers
Same goes for 3D needs 3 numbers

[wolf_bluwea]

im just half way into The video and i hvae to thank u. The way u get into the nitty gritty and explain everything instead of just asuming we know is 🖐👍👍👍👍. SUBSCRIBED. TATENDA

[alexafama]

I was so confused with components but this saved me. He's great at explaining concepts!! Thank you!!
