What is gradient of a vector field?
It is the rate of change in the vector for a unit change in the direction under consideration. It may be calculated as the derivative of the vector in the relevant direction.
How do you change the magnitude of the resultant vector between two if the angle between them decreases?
If the angle decreases, the magnitude of the resultant vector increases.
What will be the change if a vector is multiplied by -2?
It will be twice as large as the original and have the opposite direction.
Does The direction a vector is drawn in indicate the magnitude of the vector?
No. The two characteristics of a vector ... its magnitude and its direction ... are independent of each other. Either one can change without affecting the other, and neither one tells you any information about the other. On a drawing, the direction of the vector indicates nothing concerning the magnitude. The length of the vector is usually used to indicate its magnitude, on a drawing.
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.
Is north a vector direction?
"North" is a valid direction, but for a vector, you would also need a magnitude.
What is the course in which an aircraft moves?
Typically "track" is used to discuss the path of an aircraft. But the term "Vector" can also be used in terms of the path of an aircraft between waypoints. "Vector" can be either heading and speed or simply heading.
Do the vector components double if the vector doubles with the same direction?
Yes.
What is gradient of a vector field?
It is the rate of change in the vector for a unit change in the direction under consideration. It may be calculated as the derivative of the vector in the relevant direction.
Is 55 miles per hour a vector quantity or scalar quantity?
(55 miles per hour) is a scalar. (55 miles per hour heading north) is a vector.
Is a vector necessarily changed if it is rotated through a angle?
yes vector change with change in magnitude or direction
What is the quantities of a vector?
The square of a vector quantity is the vector magnitude times itself without a change in the orientation.
What is the square of a vector quantity?
The square of a vector quantity is the vector magnitude times itself without a change in the orientation.
Is there any change in the vector if there is change in angle?
Yes. The angle is the direction of the vector, so if the angle changes, the direction changes.
The components of a vector will be the same no matter what coordinate system is used to express that vector?
No. The components of a vector will change based on what coordinate system is used to express that vector.
When a vector is multiplied by a scalar physical quantitythen what will be dimensions of resulting vector?
The same as the original vector. The scalar will change the numbers, but not the dimensions.
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°.
