This interactive simulation models the decomposition of any vector into mutually perpendicular horizontal and vertical components. Learners can adjust vector magnitude and angle using intuitive drag controls, observe how sine and cosine functions relate to component magnitudes, and explore the mathematical relationships between vectors and their projections in real time.
Learning objectives: Understand how vectors decompose into perpendicular components | Apply trigonometric functions (sin, cos) to calculate vector components | Visualise the relationship between vector magnitude, angle, and component values
