Notation in which you express the x component as i and the y component as j, and you add them. Ex. V (4,5) --> V (4i + 5j)

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.


What is unit vector?

A unit vector is a vector with a magnitude of 1. It is often used to indicate direction without influencing the scale of a vector. Unit vectors are important in mathematics, physics, and engineering for simplifying calculations involving vectors.


What is the relationship between the components of a vector and the unit vectors in a given coordinate system?

In a given coordinate system, the components of a vector represent its magnitude and direction along each axis. Unit vectors are vectors with a magnitude of 1 that point along each axis. The relationship between the components of a vector and the unit vectors is that the components of a vector can be expressed as a combination of the unit vectors multiplied by their respective magnitudes.


Is the vector (I j k) a unit vector?

No, the vector (I j k) is not a unit vector. In the context of unit vectors, a unit vector has a magnitude of 1. The vector (I j k) does not have a magnitude of 1.


What are unit vectors?

a unit vector is a vector which has exact same direction and has its length or magnitude equal to one


Dot product of unit vectors of cartesian and cylindrical coordinate system?

Unit vectors are perpendicular. Their dot product is zero. That means that no unit vector has any component that is parallel to another unit vector.


What is the difference between a unit vector and a unit basis vector?

A unit vector is a vector with a magnitude of 1, while a unit basis vector is a vector that is part of a set of vectors that form a basis for a vector space and has a magnitude of 1.


If a vector quantity is divided by its magnitude the vector obtained is called?

The vector obtained by dividing a vector by its magnitude is called a unit vector. Unit vectors have a magnitude of 1 and represent only the direction of the original vector.


What is the difference between unit vectors and column vectors?

a unit vector is any vector with length or absolute value 1. A column vector is any vector written in a column of since we say an mxn matrix is m rows and n columns, a column vector is mx1 matrix.


Can you add three unit vectors to get a unit vector does your answer change if two unit vectors are along the coordinate axes?

Yes., and their being along the coordinate axes does not change the answer.Consider the vectors: i, -i and j where i is the unit vector along the x axis and j along the y axis. The resultant of the three is j.


If the sum of the two unit vectors is also a unit vector find the magnitude of their difference?

resultant
