Best Answer

Because a vector contains information about the direction. A direction, at any particular position is the tangent to the curve and this, by definition, must be straight.

How can vectors be added by placing the head of one vector to another?

Vectors can be added together graphically by placing the head of one vector at the tail of the other vector. The slope of a line tangent to a curve indicates instantaneous velocity.

Can light waves always travel in staight lines?

You mean "can light waves travel in nonstraight lines?"? Yes, if they are diffracted or pass through different materials. Gravity can also affect light waves and curve them.


Why do projectiles move in a curve?

After leaving the gunbarrel, the only force preventing straight line motion is gravity, the result is (apart from firing straight up) a flight path in the form of a parobolic curve. Using the launch angle and velocity, break into horiontal and vertical velocity vectors. Horizontal velocity vector is contant horizontal velocity. Vertical velocity vector will obey newtons laws up and down Using time intervals, you can plot the curve.


Discuss line integral and its real life applications?

A line integral can evaluate scalar and vector field functions along a curve/path. When applied on vector field, line integral is considered as measure of the total effect of the vector field along a specific curve whereas in scalar field application, the line integral is interpreted as the area under the field carved out by a particular curve.Line integral has many applications in physics. In mechanics, line integral is used to determine work done by a force in moving an object along a curve. In circuit analysis, it is used for calculating voltage.


When a car rounds a curve it's acceleration is zero?

Actually, a car always accelerates on a curve. This is because acceleration, like the velocity it alters, is a vector that has both magnitude and direction. Since taking a curve involves a change of direction, there must be an acceleration to alter the direction; otherwise, the car can only continue straight.
