Vector Resolutes

[shortgame11]

Would it be correct to think of these things (vector resolutes) as breaking a vector into its x and y components but x is just a different point of reference or in a different spot aka another vector. and is scaler resolutes vs Vector resolute just the same thing but one is a scaler answer (length?)... The Jacaranda textbook uses the most complex way of describing things

Yes you are correct. The vector resolute of a Vector A in the direction of Vector B, basically represents vector A on vector B. The scalar resolute is infact the magnitude of the vector resolute (so there isn't much difference).



Vector a1 represents the vector resolute of vector a in the direction of vector b.
