What could describe the magnitude of a vector?
A vector could describe a something physical like a force or velocity or acceleration or torque for example. The units would be part of the magnitude of the vector. For example, the wind is blowing South at 10 mph. The magnitude is 10 miles per hour.
Can there be a positive acceleration and a negative acceleration?
Yes, acceleration can be positive and negative because acceleration is a vector. It has both direction and magnitude. The direction is what makes it positive or negative. Negative acceleration is usually called deceleration.
F equals ma is cross product?
No. ' a ' (acceleration) is a vector, but ' m ' (mass) is a scalar.So ' F ' (force) is a vector parallel to ' a ', with magnitude equal to the product ( m |a| ).
What is the magnitude of a vector 3V?
3 times the magnitude of the vector V - which is not known.3 times the magnitude of the vector V - which is not known.3 times the magnitude of the vector V - which is not known.3 times the magnitude of the vector V - which is not known.
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.
