Solution Steps

Step 1: Understanding the Problem

The problem involves analyzing how the choice of a coordinate system affects the components and magnitude of a vector, specifically in the context of a crow sliding down an inclined roof. The key is to understand the properties of vectors when coordinate systems are changed.

Step 2: Analyzing Vector Components

When a vector is expressed in terms of its components in a particular coordinate system, changing the coordinate system (e.g., rotating the axes) will generally change the components of the vector. This is because the components are projections of the vector onto the axes, which depend on the orientation of the axes.

Step 3: Analyzing Vector Magnitude

The magnitude of a vector is a scalar quantity that represents the length of the vector. It is calculated as the square root of the sum of the squares of its components. The magnitude is invariant under a change of coordinate system because it is independent of the orientation of the axes.

Final Answer

  • The \(x\)- and \(y\)-components of a vector change when a different coordinate system is used.
  • The magnitude of a vector remains unchanged when a different coordinate system is used.

\[ \boxed{\text{The } x \text{- and } y\text{-components of a vector change when a different coordinate system is used.}} \] \[ \boxed{\text{The magnitude of a vector remains unchanged when a different coordinate system is used.}} \]
