how do i find the magnitude of components of vectors????
It depends on what you have given.
Surely your text gives you some examples
i have no examples! is there any way you can give me the formula with variables?
please help its on webassign and i only have 2 tries left for the magnitude!
To find the magnitude of the components of a vector, you need to know the values of the vector's components.
Step 1: Identify the vector's components
If the vector is in two-dimensional space, it will have two components (x and y). If it is in three-dimensional space, it will have three components (x, y, and z).
Step 2: Calculate the magnitude of each component
To calculate the magnitude of a component, you need to use the formula:
Magnitude of the component = √(component x² + component y² + ... + component n²)
For example, if you have a two-dimensional vector (vector A) with components A_x and A_y, you can calculate the magnitude of each component as follows:
Magnitude of A_x = √(A_x²)
Magnitude of A_y = √(A_y²)
If you have a three-dimensional vector (vector B) with components B_x, B_y, and B_z, you can calculate the magnitude of each component as follows:
Magnitude of B_x = √(B_x²)
Magnitude of B_y = √(B_y²)
Magnitude of B_z = √(B_z²)
Step 3: Calculate the magnitude of the components
After calculating the magnitudes of the components, you will have the magnitude of each individual component of the vector.
