A vector quantity is a physical quantity having magnitude and direction both. For e.g. velocity is a vector quantity and in physics it is velocity is generally denoted as:

v (bar) = 2i+3j+4k

where in general,

i=velocity in x-direction

j=velocity in y-direction

k=velocity in z-direction

2,3 and 4 are magnitudes respective to their directions.

What is a vector of magnitude?

Nothing. A magnitude is part of a vector. For example, for the vector "10 metres due East", 10 metres is the magnitude of the vector and East is the direction of the vector.


Can the magnitude of a vector has negative value?

No, the magnitude of a vector is always a positive value or zero. It represents the length of the vector and is a scalar quantity. Negative values are not associated with the magnitude of a vector.


The magnitude of a vector represents its?

That depends on what the vector, itself, represents. For example, if the vector represents velocity, then the magnitude of the vector represents speed. If the vector represents displacement, then the magnitude of the vector represents distance.


Can a vector have a component greater than the vector's magnitude?

No, a vector's component cannot be greater than the vector's magnitude. The magnitude represents the maximum possible magnitude of a component in any direction.


Can a vector have a component greater than the magnitude of the vector?

No, a vector component is a projection of the vector onto a specific direction. It cannot have a magnitude greater than the magnitude of the vector itself.
