Resolving Forces

• Resolving Forces involves breaking down the force(s) into its components to calculate the motion of an object accurately.
• A force is typically resolved into its horizontal and vertical components.
• Trigonometric functions such as sine, cosine, and tangent are used to calculate the magnitudes of these components based on the angle of the force.
• Understanding the process of resolving forces is crucial for mastering the Forces and Newton’s Laws section of the curriculum.
• The process lays the foundation for deeper analysis and problem-solving.
