How do I find the components of a vector parallel to the x-axis?
Hi -- I'm working on a physics problem that involves adding several vectors. I know that to find the components of a vector you must do some trig with the angle the vector makes with the x-axis. However, one of the vectors is parallel to the x-axis (but not actually laying ON the x-axis). I'm...- jpierson
