Vector components in space are:
Correct answer: D. Infinite
- A. 1
- B. 2
- C. 3
- D. Infinite
Explanation
Since there is nowhere written that the components need to be perpendicular, a vector can be resolved into infinite components in space.

About Force and Motion
Displacement, velocity and acceleration describe motion, including the horizontal and vertical components of projectile motion. The chapter connects these quantities with Newton's laws, momentum and impulse, then applies conservation of momentum to collisions, distinguishing elastic collisions from inelastic ones.
