If you wanted, you could find the magnitude of this vector displacement with a value of 3.61 meters. You could also find the "direction" of this vector and say that it is 33.7° below the x-axis.

Three dimensional vectors have three components. Example: velocity, force, acceleration. A vector with only one piece of information (a 1D vector), is a scalar.

Dealing with Vectors Vector Components Any vector can be expressed as a sum of a number of other vectors. The vectors which are summed are called the components of the original vector. When you want ...
