Measuring a vector requires a reference. You'll need something that will allow you to find direction, and a unit length so you can find magnitude. A graph is a good way to do this, and something with a standard x and y axis (Cartesian coordinates) is just the ticket. Our graph has an origin, and that can be your starting point. Starting there, and using the x-axis as zero degrees, find your angle. Then draw a segment out along that axis the appropriate length. You now have a vector with its angle (direction) and length (magnitude).

How does a vector represents distance and direction?
A vector is like an arrow. It points in the relevant direction and its length is a measure of the distance.
Is milliliters a scalar?
No, a millilitre is a measure, so it is neither scalar nor vector. It is a measure of volume and that is a scalar.
Can a vector be represented in terms of unit vector?
Yes, a vector can be represented in terms of a unit vector which is in the same direction as the vector. it will be the unit vector in the direction of the vector times the magnitude of the vector.
Is vector A parallel vector B given that vector A is equal to the zero vector and vector B is equal to the zero vector?
The zero vector is both parallel and perpendicular to any other vector. V.0 = 0 means zero vector is perpendicular to V and Vx0 = 0 means zero vector is parallel to V.
Vector that shows the combined effect of two or more vector?
Resultant vector or effective vector
The unit ues to measure force?
VECTOR
What is meant by vector?
It is a measure which has a direction as well as a value.
How does a vector represents distance and direction?

Is milliliters a scalar?
No, a millilitre is a measure, so it is neither scalar nor vector. It is a measure of volume and that is a scalar.
What is norm on vector space?
It tells us how to measure the length of the vectors.
The measure of an objects speed and direction is the objects?
The measure of an object's speed and direction is the object's velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both the speed (magnitude) and the direction of motion of an object.
Is vector the same as velocity?
No. A vector is any measurement where a direction is relevant. Velocity is one such measure, but there are others, unrelated to velocity (for instance, force).
What is another word for measure of speed and direction?
Velocity A Vector is the measurement of velocity and direction.
What measure is a vectore quanity?
A vector quality is defined as a quality that is described completely by both a direction and a magnitude. Velocity describes what direction something is moving as well as the speed it is moving, which makes it a vector quality.
How could you represent the speed and direction of a car if you able to measure its position vs time?
If s is the vector which denoted the position at time t, then the vector ds/dt is the required vector. Its magnitude is the car's speed and its direction is the car's.
What is a word for Measure in one direction?
A measure in one direction is called a vector. Some specific vectors are length, width, height and radius.
Velocity is a measure of both an object's speed and its what?
Velocity is a measure of both an object's speed and its direction. It describes the rate at which an object changes its position in a specific direction over a certain period of time. Velocity is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude (speed) and direction.
