∙ 12y agoThat's it! You know everything there is to know about it. It's not as if you have to
wander through a crowd of vectors and find one that matches the description.
"Find the vector" means figure out its magnitude and direction. If the problem
already gave you the magnitude and direction, then it's unlikely that it's asking
you to 'find' that same vector.

The magnitude alone can't tell you anything about its components. You also need to know its direction.
Use trigonometry.
Given a vector, speed is the magnitude of the velocity vector, |v|. Consider vector V= IVx + JVy + KVz the magnitude is |V| = ( Vx2 + Vy2 + Vz2)1/2
You can't derive the direction only from the magnitude. A vector with the same magnitude can have different directions. You need some additional information to make conclusions about the direction.You can't derive the direction only from the magnitude. A vector with the same magnitude can have different directions.

Divide the vector by it's length (magnitude).
The Resultant Vector minus the other vector
To add two vectors, place the tail of the second vector at the head of the first vector. The sum of the two vectors is the vector that connects the tail of the first vector to the head of the second vector. Calculate its magnitude and direction if needed.
The magnitude alone can't tell you anything about its components. You also need to know its direction.
Use trigonometry.
To find the direction of a vector, you can calculate the angle it makes with a reference axis, often the positive x-axis. Use trigonometry functions such as tangent or arctangent to determine this angle with respect to the chosen axis. The direction can be expressed as an angle or in unit vector notation.

By finding the direction of angular velocity because it's always parallel to it.
Given a vector, speed is the magnitude of the velocity vector, |v|. Consider vector V= IVx + JVy + KVz the magnitude is |V| = ( Vx2 + Vy2 + Vz2)1/2
To find the overall velocity of an object, you need to calculate the vector sum of all individual velocities. This is done by adding the velocities in each direction (x, y, z) using vector addition. The magnitude and direction of this resultant vector will give you the overall velocity of the object.

If they are parallel, you can add them algebraically to get a resultant vector. Then you can resolve the resultant vector to obtain the vector components.
