An angle is positive when it is measured in a counter-clockwise direction. It is negative when it is measured in a clock-wise direction.
An angle is a measure of turn. the amount of turn is the magnitude, measured in degrees, and direction of turn can be clockwise or anti-clockwise. A positive angle turns in an anti-clockwise direction while a negative angle turns in a clockwise direction.
either 00 or 1800A straight angle is an "angle" that doesn't affect the direction of a line. A 00angle sends the line in the opposite direction.
The 'normal' direction is the direction perpendicular to a surface. Think of a stick with one end of it glued to a mirror. When a beam of light or a tennis ball hits the surface, the 'angle of incidence' is the angle between the normal and the direction the ball came from. The 'angle of reflection' is the angle between the normal and the direction the ball will take after the bounce. The angle of reflection will be equal to the angle of incidence. Knowing this, you can always place your bank shot exactly where you want it to go after the bounce.
None of them.
The initial direction of a projectile's velocity is typically determined by the angle at which it is launched relative to the horizontal plane. This angle will influence both the horizontal and vertical components of the velocity.
the law of reflection, which states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
Yes, when light bounces off the surface of an object, it undergoes reflection which results in a change in the direction of the light. This change in direction is determined by the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection, according to the law of reflection.
The wave peel angle refers to the angle at which a wave breaks onto a shore or reef. It is determined by factors such as the underwater topography, wind direction, and swell direction, and can vary depending on the specific location and conditions of the surf spot. The angle at which a wave peels can affect the quality and shape of the wave for surfing.
The magnitudes of momenta are equal since momentum is a vector quantity, determined by both magnitude and direction. If the direction of the momenta are different, the magnitudes will depend on the angle between them.
When a wave hits a boundary, it can be reflected, absorbed, or transmitted through the boundary. The direction of the reflected wave is determined by the angle of incidence and the properties of the boundary material.
Yes, a force can perform work at any angle to the direction of motion. The work done is determined by the component of the force that is in the direction of motion, not the total force itself. This component is what contributes to the displacement of the object and thus the work done on it.
The change in direction that occurs when a light ray bounces off of a surface is called reflection. Reflection is determined by the angle of incidence (angle at which the light ray hits the surface) and the angle of reflection (angle at which the light ray bounces off the surface).
In navigation, the direction of travel is determined by the angle made with the direction North (the bearing), measured in the clockwise direction. For this purpose it is assumed that longitudes are parallel on the sacle of the journeys.

Yes, changing the angle of a vector will result in a change in its direction. The magnitude of the vector remains the same, but the direction it points in will be different.
