Best Answer

Fixed vector is one which has unique point of application. the action of the force on deformable or non rigid body must be specified by a fixed vector at the point of application of the force. in this instance the forces and deformations within the body depend on the point of application of the force,as well as on the magnitude and line of action.

What is sliding vector?

A vector whose direction (angles) and line of application are fixed, but whose point of application is not fixed.


Is the size of the vector is fixed at the time of compilation?

The size of a vector is not fixed at time of compilation as it can be altered by events that can be written into code. For example, a vector can have a new Node pushed to the back when something happens, altering the size of the vector during run-time.


Is a vector necessarily changed if it is rotated through an angle?

Yes. A vector is defined as having magnitude and direction (in reference to a fixed frame). Changing either of these properties redefines the vector.


How many places are there for dowloading free vector art?

There are over fifty sites for downloading free vector art. Since vector images do not have fixed images, the image is allowed to be altered without losing the image quality.


Can you move vectors spirally?

In a fixed frame of reference a spiral vector would be a combination of a linear vector and a rotational vector.In a rotating frame of reference a spiral could be a single linear vector but only to a viewer external to the frame of reference.


When the size of vetor is fixed in c plus plus?

The size of a vector cannot be fixed because a vector is a wrapper for a dynamic array where resizing occurs automatically (by virtue of the vector class). So, even if you reserved enough memory for n elements in advance, the vector will resize automatically as soon as you push more than n elements. A normal dynamic array does not resize automatically (you have to manually resize the array in order to accommodate more elements than you've allowed), and is therefore more suitable for a fixed size dynamic array. However, if you embed a vector in your own class wrapper (such as fixed_vector), you can reserve n elements in the vector via the constructor, and subsequently control how many elements are pushed onto the vector. Once n elements are pushed, any subsequent elements can be ignored, perhaps raising an exception for added safety.


Is age a vector or scalar?

Scalar. The simple reason is unlike velocity or other vector quantities, it doesn't have a direction, it has a fixed path. Like; age cannot decrease but only increase in the same way for each person.


What is the use of vector images?

Vector images are drawn out according to mathematical figures and coordinates so no matter the resolution of the vector image the quality will be the same. Adobe FireWorks uses PNG for its format but SVG is also another format of vector images. SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphics. Other formats like JPG and BMP have a fixed resolution because the whole image is in the file and no rendering is required.


What is an affine connection?

In the branch of mathematics called differential geometry, an affine connection is a geometrical object on a smooth manifold which connects nearby tangent spaces, and so permits tangent vector fields to be differentiated as if they were functions on the manifold with values in a fixed vector space.


Can a vector be represented in terms of unit vector?

Yes, a vector can be represented in terms of a unit vector which is in the same direction as the vector. it will be the unit vector in the direction of the vector times the magnitude of the vector.


What is null vector?

NULL VECTOR::::null vector is avector of zero magnitude and arbitrary direction the sum of a vector and its negative vector is a null vector...
