Why A unit vector is a vector but a vector is not a unit vector?

A unit vector is one which has a magnitude of 1 and is often indicated by putting a hat (or circumflex) on top of the vector symbol, for example: Unit Vector = â, â = 1.
The quantity â is read as "a hat" or "a unit".

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.
Why a unit vector is aone type of vector but a vector is not a unit vector?
A unit vector is a vector whose magnitude is one. Vectors can have magnitudes that are bigger or smaller than one so they would not be unit vectors.
Can a unit vector have any components with magnitude greater than unity?
No, by definiton, a unit vector is a vector with a magnitude equal to unity.
What is a unit vector in mathematics?
A vector of magnitude 1.
If all the components of a vector are equal to 1 then that vector is a unit vector?
False.
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.
Why a unit vector is aone type of vector but a vector is not a unit vector?
A unit vector is a vector whose magnitude is one. Vectors can have magnitudes that are bigger or smaller than one so they would not be unit vectors.
Define the unit vector?
The unit vector is a vector whose magnitude is 1.
Can you add three unit vector to get a unit vector?
Yes.
When was Vector Unit created?
Vector Unit was created in 2007.
What is unit vector in physics?
a vector having unit magnitude and have a certain direction.
Can a unit vector have any components with magnitude greater than unity?
No, by definiton, a unit vector is a vector with a magnitude equal to unity.
What is a unit vector in mathematics?
A vector of magnitude 1.
If a vector quantity is divided by its magnitude the vector obtained is called?
A unit vector.
If all the components of a vector are equal to 1 then that vector is a unit vector?
False.
When vector is divided by its own magnitude you find its?
We get the Unit Vector
What is the resultant of a 3 unit vector and 4 unit vector at right angles to each other?
The multiplicative resultant is a three unit vector composed of a vector parallel to the 3 unit vector and a vector parallel to the product of the 3 unit and 4 unit vectors. R = (w4 + v4)(0 +v3) = (w40 - v4.v3) + (w4v3 + 0v4 + v4xv3) R = (0 - 0) + w4v3 + v4xv3 as v4.v3 =0 ( right angles or perpendicular)
