A vector is parallel to the y axis, what is it x component?

Explanation:

A vector is parallel to the y axis .

Let its magnitude be A . So the vector can be represented as A j .

where i and j are unit vectors in x and y axis direction .

The x component of A j will be dot product of A j with i

The x component of A j = A j . i

= A x 0      [  Since j . i = 0 ]

= 0

molecules are free to separate from each other and will take on the shape of the container. molecules move completely at random and high speeds. they vibrate in a fixed position and do not move around much. molecules expand to the edge of their container.
