Answer:

The x-direction and y-direction refer are used to refer to the location of an object as well as to the components of the motion of the object in a two dimensional space

Step-by-step explanation:

In physics, in the analysis of the motion of an object in two dimensional space, the relative location of the object is specified using the measured distances in the x-direction from the y-axes and y-direction from the x-axes

In order to accurately specify the motion of the object, information regarding the component of the motion of the object in the x-direction and the component in the y-direction are required
