What is meant by negative vector?

It is a vector that has the opposite direction to the reference positive direction. (A vector is one point in space relative to another.) Negative vector is the opposite direction


How will you multiply a vector by positive number?

A positive scalar multiplied by a vector, will only change the vector's magnitude, not the direction. A negative scalar multiplied by the vector will reverse the direction by 180°.


Vector A lies in xy planeFor what orientation will both of its rectangular components be negative?

South West orientation makes both components negative.

Is any quantity having a positive and negative values a vector?

No, vector, besides a value, has also a direction.


Can there be a positive acceleration and a negative acceleration?

Yes, acceleration can be positive and negative because acceleration is a vector. It has both direction and magnitude. The direction is what makes it positive or negative. Negative acceleration is usually called deceleration.


Why two objects move in opposite direction one will have positive momentum and other negative momentum?

Quite simply, this means that momentum is a vector quantity; the direction is relevant. This is useful, for example, for calculations involving the conservation of momentum. Actually momentum is the product of velocity and mass, and velocity is also a vector quantity - thus, in this example, one object will have a positive velocity (more precisely: a positive component of the velocity along the x-axis, for example), the other, negative. Multiplying this velocity by the mass will also give a quantity which may be positive or negative (or rather, have positive or negative components).


What are the components of a vector?

The components of a vector are magnitude and direction.


The components of a vector or what?

The components of a vector are magnitude and direction.


Can a body have negative speedwhy?

No. The speed is the length of the velocity vector, and that is always zero or positive.


Does positive go to ground in a car battery?

NO! positive is red and black is negative negative is grounded to the frame of the car, and positive goes to the electrical components.
