Component along $x$ $x$ -axis is $0$ $0$ , the one along $y$ $y$ -axis is $2$ $2$

It is apparent that the length of vector is $2$ $2$ . Further, it is at an angle of $\frac{π}{2}$ $pi/2$ and hence vector goes along $y$ $y$ -axis.

As it is along $y$ $y$ -axis, while component along $x$ $x$ -axis is $0$ $0$ , the one along $y$ $y$ -axis is $2$ $2$ .

What are the components of the vector between the origin and the polar coordinate (2,π2)(2, (pi)/2)?
