I will assume a vector in a plane - in two dimensions. The idea of polar coordinates is that the vector is expressed as its length, and an angle.
If you already have the vector in rectangular coordinates, i.e. the x and y components, most scientific calculators have a function that might be labelled R->P, to convert from rectangular coordinates to polar coordinates. Otherwise, use basic trigonometry - but using the specialized function is much faster, if your calculator has it.
What else can I help you with?
Can a vector have a component greater than the vector's magnitude?
No, a vector's component cannot be greater than the vector's magnitude. The magnitude represents the maximum possible magnitude of a component in any direction.
Vector component greater than the vectors magnitude?
can a vector have a component greater than the vector magnitude
Can a vector have a component greater than the magnitude of the vector?
No, a vector component is a projection of the vector onto a specific direction. It cannot have a magnitude greater than the magnitude of the vector itself.
Can a component of vector greater than vector magnitude?
No, a component of a vector cannot be greater than the magnitude of the vector itself. The magnitude of a vector is the maximum possible value that can be obtained from its components.
Can you multiply a vector and a scalar?
Yes, you can multiply a vector by a scalar. The scalar will multiply each component of the vector by the same value, resulting in a new vector with each component scaled by that value.
Can a vector have a component greater than the magnitude of vector?
no a vector cannot have a component greater than the magnitude of vector
Will a vector be zero if anyone of its component is zero?
If any component of a vector is not zero, then the vector is not zero.
Can a vector have a component greater than the vector's magnitude?
No, a vector's component cannot be greater than the vector's magnitude. The magnitude represents the maximum possible magnitude of a component in any direction.

Can a vector have a component greater than the magnitude of the vector?
No, a vector component is a projection of the vector onto a specific direction. It cannot have a magnitude greater than the magnitude of the vector itself.
What are vector components?
prrpendicular projections of a vector called component of vector
Can a component of vector greater than vector magnitude?
No, a component of a vector cannot be greater than the magnitude of the vector itself. The magnitude of a vector is the maximum possible value that can be obtained from its components.
How do you find the component of a vector perpendicular to another vector?
The component of a vector x perpendicular to the vector y is x*y*sin(A) where A is the angle between the two vectors.
What is the difference between a resultant vector and a component vector?
Oh, dude, okay, so like, a resultant vector is the overall effect of two or more vectors combined, while a component vector is just one of the vectors that make up the resultant. It's like saying the whole pizza is the resultant, and the pepperoni and cheese slices are the component vectors. So, basically, the resultant is the big picture, and the components are just the pieces that make it up.
Can the component of a vector ever be greater than the magnitude of the vector?
No.
Can you multiply a vector and a scalar?
Yes, you can multiply a vector by a scalar. The scalar will multiply each component of the vector by the same value, resulting in a new vector with each component scaled by that value.
When can a nonzero vector have a zero horizontal component?
When the direction of the vector is vertical. Gravitational force has zero horizontal component.
