The components of a vector or what?
The components of a vector are magnitude and direction.
What is a magnetic field vector?
It is a way of representing the magnetic force at a point in the field. The magnitude and direction of the vector represents the strength and the direction of the magnetic force acting on a charged particle in the field.
How does the magnitude of a vector relate to the dot product?
The magnitude of dot product of two vectors is equal to the product of first vector to the component of second vector in the direction of first. for ex.- A.B=ABcos@
Cross product is not difine in two space why?
When performing the cross product of two vectors (vector A and vector B), one of the properites of the resultant vector C is that it is perpendicular to both vectors A & B. In two dimensional space, this is not possible, because the resultant vector will be perpendicular to the plane that A & B reside in. Using the (i,j,k) unit vector notation, you could add a 0*k to each vector when doing the cross product, and the resultant vector will have zeros for the i & jcomponents, and only have k components.Two vectors define a plane, and their cross product is always a vector along the normal to that plane, so the three vectors cannot lie in a 2D space which is a plane.
When is the vector sum not equal in magnitude to the algebraic sum?
The magnitude of the vector sum will only equal the magnitude of algebraic sum, when the vectors are pointing in the same direction.
Scalar and vector?
A scalar is a magnitude that doesn't specify a direction. A vector is a magnitude where the direction is important and is specified.
Is velocity a vector?
True ,velocity is a vector quantity ,it is specified by a magnitude and direction.
If a vector has constant direction then?
There is almost never an "IF". All non-zero vectors have a constant, specified direction. Only a zero-vector has a direction which is unspecified.
What is meant by negative vector?
It is a vector that has the opposite direction to the reference positive direction. (A vector is one point in space relative to another.) Negative vector is the opposite direction
What is a quantity that is specified by size and direction?
. Velocity Acceleration
A physical quantity described by both magnitude and direction is called what?
A physical quantity that is specified by both magnitude and direction is a vector by definition.
The speed limit on an interstate highway scalar or vector?
A scalar, since no direction is specified.
Is height a scalar quantity?
As soon as you called it "height", you specified a direction. That made it a vector.
What is the Velocity of speed?
Velocity is the vector form of speed. It is the speed of an object in a specified direction.
What is an explanation of Free and bound vectors?
BY -Er. Ankit gangwarFREE VECTOR-a vector of which only the magnitude and direction are specified, not the position or line of action.BOUND VECTOR-A vector whose line of application and point of application are both prescribed, in addition to its direction.
What is physical interpretation of vector space?
A vector has two properties: magnitude and direction. The representation of a vector is an arrow. The tip of the arrow points to the direction the vector is acting. The length of the arrow represents the magnitude.
What type of quantity must have magnitude number and unit plus direction specified for it to be complete?
a vector
