Can a rectangular component of a vector be greater than the vector itself ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

No. The rectangular component of a vector cant be greater than the vector itself because the rectangulat components of a vector ` vec A` are ` a_(x) = A cos and A_(y) =A` sin theta`, As sin theta` and cas theta ` both are ` -lt 1`, therefore ` A_(x) and A_(y)` connot be greater than (A),
