Horizontal component = 14 cos(38) = 11.032 lbs (rounded)
Vertical component = 14 sin(38) = 8.619 lbs (rounded)
Horizontal is X-Axis and Vertical is Y-Axis.
Vertical.
An antonym for the word 'vertical' is 'horizontal'
Slope is the angle compared with the horizontal, where the horizontal is 90° to the vertical, which can be measured with a plumb line. So, put a weight on a string, measure the angle of the string to the angle you are measuring, subtract 90° and that will give you the slope.
A vertical line goes North And South and a horizontal line goes East And West.
vectors
The horizontal and vertical parts of a vector are called components
Force can be resolved into horizontal and vertical components using vector analysis. However stress cannot be resolved into horizontal and vertical components using vector analysis since it is not a vector but a tensor of second order.
Horizontal and vertical components which need to be treated independently from each other when working out either the horizontal or vertical motion.
Its either reality based (vertical is up-down, horizontal is ground distance) or it's purely arbitrary.
The horizontal and vertical components don't change. In fact, weight is completely vertical, and has no horizontal component at all, regardless of what the object happens to be sitting on. But the components parallel to the ramp and normal to the ramp depend on the slope of the ramp.
Horizontal . . . acceleration is zero, speed is constant Vertical . . . acceleration is 'G' downward, speed constantly increases downward
Neglecting air resistance, the components of acceleration of an object that's dropped, tossed, pitched, flung, lobbed, heaved, launched, or shot are constant. The horizontal component is zero. The vertical component is 9.8 meters per second2, directed downward. These are both constant throughout the object's trajectory.
To measure Angles, Process of Measuring Horizontal and vertical Angles
Think about the direction that the cat is moving. Does the cat's movement have a horizontal component? Or is the movement strictly vertical?
If the initial velocity is v, at an angle x to the horizontal, then the vertical component is v*sin(x) and the horizontal component is v*cos(x).
