I need help with vectors

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (amistre64):

up in the sky, its a bird, its a plane, .... it only a direction with magnitude :)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

perp and parallel are your tangent and normals

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (amistre64):

but v is only a single vector so its hard to derive that with what i was thinking

OpenStudy (anonymous):

F = F parallel + F perpindicular

OpenStudy (amistre64):

|dw:1331748311890:dw| what is F by chance? they just name it

OpenStudy (amistre64):

I see, F is defined in the following numberal things ..

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the i and j parts are just your x and y component; i find it easier to read in <x,y> notation

OpenStudy (amistre64):

v = <3,4> F1 = <4,1> F2 = <0.2,-0.5)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the of F component parallel/perp to v?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ugghhh idk nething

OpenStudy (amistre64):

it might help if I could survey the material that this chapter is covering becasue the question is making no good sense to me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

LOL

OpenStudy (amistre64):

vi and Fi are most likely parallel components parts; same for vj to Fj and vi is perp to Fj is about all i can make from it ....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just forget it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whtvr

OpenStudy (amistre64):

since Work = Force * distance; the dot product of F.v is the answer for c :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks

OpenStudy (amistre64):

http://www.asu.edu/courses/kin335/documents/Work,%20Power,%20and%20Energy.pdf "for those of you who have had advanced math, the parallel component is computed by the dot product of the force and displacement vectors"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks @amistre

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

amistre how do u know all this??

OpenStudy (amistre64):

oh its quite simply, I never bother to retain it so each time I have to learn it anew lol
