What is the general definition of vector resolution?

A process where one vector is broken down into two or more smaller vectors. A process where small vectors are combined together to form larger vectors. Breaking a vector into components.

Whether a vector is sharp or blurry. It's like a new year's resolution for vectors.

1. How would you write 50 newtons east, and 70 newtons south in component form? (Use north to south as the y-axis, and east to west as the x-axis, like in the lesson.)

50i - 70j
70i + 50j
-70i + 50j
50i + 70j
-50i - 70j

2. Two people, A and B are pulling a flag in a 2D tug of war. Person A is applying a force 25 newtons west, and 50 newtons north. The total force is 70 newtons west, and 10 newtons south. What force must person B be applying?

45 newtons west, 60 newtons south
45 newtons south, 60 newtons west
95 newtons west, 40 newtons south
45 newtons west, 60 newtons north
