This animation shows how a vector can be broken into components. Step by step, the animation draws the vector, draws axes, determines the projections onto the axes, and gives the component vectors.
This item is part of a larger collection of simulation-based physics modules sponsored by the MAP project (Modular Approach to Physics).
