The discussion centers on the interpretation of two-dimensional velocity represented as a vector, specifically v=4.13i+6.76j m/s. It is confirmed that the x-direction velocity component is 4.13 m/s and the y-direction component is 6.76 m/s. However, the constancy of these components is not guaranteed; they may vary depending on the context of the motion described.

Yes.indietro said:Homework Statement
When a problem tells me that the velocity at some h is v=4.13i+6.76j m/s
does that mean that the velocity in xdirection = 4.13 m/s and the velocity in the ydirection = 6.76 m/s.
Not necessarily.... and so are the horizontal and vertical components of velocity constant?
