Explain how a vector can be resolved into two rectangular components in a plane. SECTION E Q. NO 34 and 36 are case based questions. Each question has sub parts with internal choice in one subpart. 34, Any vector directed at an angle to the horizontal (or the vertical) can be thought of fas having two parts (or components). That is, any vector directed in two dimensions can be thought of as having two components. For example, if a chain pulls upward at an angle on the collar of a dog, then there is a tension force directed in two dimensions. This tension force has two components: an upward component and a rightward component. As another example, consider an airplane that is displaced northwest from O'Hare International Airport (in Chicago) to a destination in Canada. The displacement vector of the plane is in two dimensions (northwest). Thus, this displacement vector has two components: a northward component and a westward component.

In a line graph, we can represent one physical quantity like distance or velocity with another quantity such as time. The different types of graphs for motion help us to understand the speed, velocity, acceleration, and also behaviour of an object. 4) at uniform: (a) Can the direction of motion of a body change if its velocity is chan rate?
