An object moving in the direction 120 degrees (as measured counterclockwise to the positive x axis) encounters a net force whose direction is 270 degrees.
•Sketch the force and its component along the line of motion, as well as its component perpendicular to the line of motion.
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
I sketched a line of 120 degrees on an x and y plane. And then I sketched the 270 degree line on it as well.

•Suppose you are facing in the direction of motion. Do you perceive the component of the force along the line of motion to be forward or backward? It this component in the direction of motion or opposite to the direction of motion?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
I would perceive that in the direction of motion (being that it was in the direction of the x axis) the component of the force along the line of motion would be backward. It would make sense to me if it was in the opposite direction of motion.

•Will the object speed up, slow down or maintain a constant speed?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
I believe that the object (in that it met a net force going 270 degrees aka, downward) would make it slow down, but I am not completely sure.

•If you are facing in the direction of motion, then the line perpendicular to the direction of motion will run to your right and to your left. Is the component of the force perpendicular to the line of motion directed to the right or to the left?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
Now I don't understand this question. I am trying to visualize this, but I just can't grasp it.

•Will the object veer to the right, to the left or maintain straight-line motion?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
I figure it would maintain a straight-line motion.
#$&*
•Which is greater in magnitude, the component of the force along the line of motion or the component perpendicular to the line of motion?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
I would say that the component perpendicular to the line of motion is greater in magnitude.
