We'll cover the following...
Background
You should be familiar with vector quantities. Put simply, a vector is a quantity that is expressed with both the magnitude and direction both. Look at the figure below.
The figure shows the vector, A, in an XY plane.
The magnitude of vector A is equal to the distance covered from the origin to point P(x,y).
The direction is indicated by angle θ.
In a -D plane, a vector has two components: horizontal and vertical.
