10. When a vector is resolved into rectangular components the magnitude of the vector is related to its components by

A. (V=V_x+V_y)
B. (V=V_x-V_y)
C. (V=sqrt{V_x^2+V_y^2})
✓
D. (V=V_xV_y)

📝 Explanation

Perpendicular components obey the Pythagorean relationship.

📖 Additional Information

  • (V=V_x+V_y)
  • (V=V_x-V_y)
  • (V=sqrt{V_x^2+V_y^2})
  • (V=V_xV_y)

Perpendicular components obey the Pythagorean relationship.
