Question

If a vector of magnitude 10 N is along y-axis, then its component along x-axis is​

Answer 1

If a force is acting completely along the Y axis then the force acting along X axis is equal to 0. But if the force acts, making an angle with the Y axis then you can resolve the force using trigonometry to find its X Component.

Answer 2

Answer:

The component of the vector along the x-axis is 0.

Explanation:

• It has been given that the vector of magnitude 10N has a direction only along the y-axis
• This means that it has no component along the x-axis
• In mathematics and physics, the term "vector" is used informally to describe certain quantities that cannot be described by a single number or by a set of vector space elements.
• An item with both magnitude and direction is referred to be a vector. A vector can be visualised geometrically as a directed line segment, with an arrow pointing in the direction and a length equal to the magnitude of the vector.
• The vector points in a direction from its tail to its head.
• Any vector in a two-dimensional coordinate system can be divided into its x and y components.

Thus, the component along the x-axis is zero.
