Resolving Vectors - A Level Physics

This video introduces and explains resolving vectors for A Level Physics.
Resolving vectors using trigonometry and SOH-CAH-TOA, resolves a vector into two components. We often resolve a vector into horizontal and vertical components, north and south components or parallel and perpendicular components to a surface.
Thanks for watching,
Lewis
This video is recommended for anyone studying A Level Physics in the following exam boards:
AQA

[@seriousruchir5665]

Your explanations are amazing
Like how you continuously relate to a real life situations
Please keep making more videos for Alevel !
Thank you!

you all probably dont give a damn but does any of you know of a method to get back into an instagram account..?
I was stupid forgot the password. I love any tips you can offer me!

[@robertograham6065]

@Will Kayson instablaster ;)

[@willkayson9264]

@Roberto Graham I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im in the hacking process now.
Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.

[@willkayson9264]

@Roberto Graham It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my ass!

[@robertograham6065]

@Will Kayson No problem =)

so well explained for me as someone who takes physics alevel without maths

[@BilalKhan-qj4cr]

How is did it go as I am also taking physics without math. It is really hard?

[@sea5205]

Bilal Khan taking physics without maths will always require a bit more time to get concepts, you will have to make sure your maths skills are always up too par

[@Elitea20]

Same boat here

[@zion9146]

Same here

[@fattestmanintheworld5081]

Why did u take physics without math what’s the point then

[@talkingbtr-82a76]

Note: when he says Hurricane, thats the name of the model plane
The Hawker Hurrican which was used extensively in WW2 by RAF

so this is a very late comment but hold up... isn't the formula of cos supposed to be perpendicular/base and cos^-1 being base/perpendicular

[@TheTemporaryLasters]

No it is CAH, so Adjacent to the angle/ Hypotenuse of the triangle. But this only applies to right angled triangles. For any other angle, you might need to use the unit circle or cosine rule which is a^2 = b^2 +c^2 -- 2*b*c * cos a

[@anansii9140]

this clicked instantly,, thank youu

[@user-id7kj7nl3e]

thanks alot

[@Geri_kariba]

Okay but sir what pens are those and where can I get them please? Tia

[@fizayasin1230]

It was a really good explanation but i don't understand where did you get angle 60 degrees from?

[@luanagullotta6218]

It was just made up for the example

[@fizayasin1230]

Oh, that's fine. Thanks!

[@fizayasin1230]

Yeah that's right. 60+30=90 @Nihilist

[@mr.perfect7431]

Thanks a lot

[@MegaBanannaman]

Thankyou

[@hangettingstronger]

How do you know which angle should be the resultant’s angle? There are two unknown angles so?

[@carultch]

You pick one of the coordinate axes, and state the coordinate axis with the direction of the angle for context. For instance, you wouldn't just answer 20 degrees, you would answer 20 degrees East of North.

[@imanepink]

Is this suitable for the new spec for OCR A?

[@PhysicsOnline]

Yes it is

[@imanepink]

GCSE and A Level Physics Online thanks

[@imanepink]

@EDUCATIONAL INFORMATION General Certificate of Secondary Education I think.

[@mariehill6547]

Just a question, what is the difference between deceleration and decreasing acceleration?

[@PhysicsOnline]

Deceleration is a negative acceleration. You could have a decreasing acceleration, maybe from +5 to +2. The magnitude would be getting smaller, but it would still be a positive value.

[@mariehill6547]

In Ocr a do we need to know how to add non perpendicular vectors?

[@PhysicsOnline]

Yes

[@zaibkhan6237]

what i dont understand is,why do you draw that vertical line of 60 degrees?

[@PhysicsOnline]

Zaib khan how do you mean?

[@rohandnho]

That’s the velocity of the plane it is heading in that direction the plane is heading 60 degrees north east from north at 50 ms -1
