Thanks for you help.Orodruin said:
The phi component is not taken into account for vector R because vector R is a two-dimensional vector that only considers the x and y components. The phi component, also known as the z component, is only relevant for three-dimensional vectors.
The phi component is used to determine the direction of a vector in three-dimensional space. It is often represented as the angle between the vector and the positive z-axis.
No, the phi component is important for vectors in three-dimensional space. It is only ignored for two-dimensional vectors, as they do not have a z component.
Excluding the phi component from vector calculations simplifies them, as it reduces the vector from three-dimensional to two-dimensional. This makes calculations easier and more efficient.
Yes, if you want to include the phi component in vector R, you can convert the vector from two-dimensional to three-dimensional by adding a z component. However, this would change the direction and magnitude of the vector.
