Can you graphically represent a vector which has magnitude but no direction?
If a quantity does not have a direction, its a scalar quantity, not a vector quantity.
How a vector represented?
A vector is represented graphically as an arrow. The direction indicates the direction, the length is proportional to the magnitude of the vector. Note that it is difficult to accurately represent vectors of 3 or more dimensions on a 2-dimensional sheet of paper.
Why can vectors be used to represent forces?
A vector is a quantity with magnitude and direction. Since force has magnitude and direction, it is a vector
When drawing a vector you should represent the magnitude of the vector by the length of the arrow?
true
Does the length of a vector arrow represent its magnitude and the point its direction?
True

Velocity is represented graphically by an what?
By an arrow, a vector. Velocity is a vector quantity that must have both magnitude (speed) and direction (bearing).
What does the length of a vector of a arrow represent?
Magnitude of the force.

When drawing a vector you should represent the magnitude of the vector by the length of the arrow?
true
Does the length of a vector arrow represent its magnitude and the point its direction?
True
What is meant by magnitude of force?
A force is a vector - in two dimensions, you can represent it on paper as an arrow. Such vector/arrows have a size, and a direction. The size is usually called the "magnitude".
What does the length of a position vector represent?
The length represents the magnitude or distance from the origin.
When adding vectors in one dimension what does the lenght of the arrows represent?
The magnitude of the vector
Vector quantity will be described numerically or graphically?
it can be described in both. when graphically, it will be represented by an arrow in the direction of the vector and have the magnitude either written by it or you will have the arrow drawn to scale for the magnitude (length) of the arrow. numerically, you can break it down into its x, y, and z components and put them in from of i, j, and k respectively. ex a vector with x component of 3, y component of 2 and z component of 4 can be written as 3i +2j +4k
What is a unit vector?
It is a vector whose magnitude is 1.It is a vector whose magnitude is 1.It is a vector whose magnitude is 1.It is a vector whose magnitude is 1.
