•The negative of any vector is a vector of the
same magnitude but points in the opposite
direction.
VECTOR RESOLUTION – used in analyzing the
effects or influences given by a single vector
along the horizontal and the vertical.

Vector Resolution – is the process of
breaking down a single vector into its two
components (effects or influence given)
along the x- and the y-axis.
• To resolve a vector is NOT to add nor to
subtract a vector.
• The components of the vector, x- & y-
components, are not vector quantities but are
merely scalar. Although they carry + or –
signs, they just show the direction of the
effectivity of given vector along the horizontal
and vertical respects.
• The components of a vector are symbolized
and drawn with broken lines with arrowheads
to show the direction of the effect given by a
vector along the horizontal and vertical.
• The x- & y-components of a vector are
indicated as the x- and y-subscript of a given
vector.
• By +x-component means the horizontal effect
of the vector is to the right (or →). By –x, it is
the otherwise.
• By +y-component means the vertical effect of
the vector is upward (or ↑) and by –y
component is the the otherwise.
The components of a single vector are:
a. x-component of a vector -i.e., it is the
horizontal effect or horizontal
influence given by a vector in terms
of displacement, velocity or force, etc.
b. y-component of a vector – it is the
vertical effect or influence given by a
vector.
How do you resolve a vector analytically?
1. Sketch the vector appropriately and resolve
using triangulation method wherein the angle
given is included in the triangle.
2. The x-component of the vector is the
projection of the vector along the x-axis, i.e., in
either to the left or to the right of the x-axis as
appropriate.
3. The y-component of the vector is the
projection of the vector along the y-axis, i.e., at
either up or down of the y-axis as appropriate.
4. Label your vector components
correspondingly.
