1654 - What are the two independent components of displacement, velocity, and acceleration of a point in a two-dimensional motion.

In 2D motion, there are two independent components:

1. The horizontal (x) component: This is like moving left or right.
2. The vertical (y) component: This is like moving up or down.

These two components work together to create the overall motion.

For:

• Displacement: Horizontal displacement (dx) and vertical displacement (dy)
• Velocity: Horizontal velocity (vx) and vertical velocity (vy)
• Acceleration: Horizontal acceleration (ax) and vertical acceleration (ay)
