Question 3.2a Vector Components I
a) it doubles
If each component of a
b) it increases, but by less than double
vector is doubled, what
c) it does not change
happens to the angle of
d) it is reduced by half
that vector? e) it decreases, but not as much as half
The angle of the vector is given by tan q = y/x. Thus, tan q = 1 in this
case if x and y are equal, which means that the angle must be 45°.
