Why do you have to break vectors into components?

There is more than one right answer.

A: Forces at angles can’t be added to other horizontal and vertical forces.

wer: A and C. We break only forces at angles to see its horizontal and vertical components. We need the vertical and horizontal components so that we can add it to the other vertical and horizontal forces acting on the diagram object. This allows us to find the net force in the x and y direction. Choice D is wrong because it is NOT required. You only use the vector components if the problem equations.

B: It makes your diagram more complete

C: It is used to visualize the horizontal and vertical parts of a force

D: Breaking into components is required but not needed to solve the problem.
