It is the rate of change in the vector for a unit change in the direction under consideration. It may be calculated as the derivative of the vector in the relevant direction.
If the angle decreases, the magnitude of the resultant vector increases.
It will be twice as large as the original and have the opposite direction.
No. The two characteristics of a vector ... its magnitude and its direction ... are independent of each other. Either one can change without affecting the other, and neither one tells you any information about the other. On a drawing, the direction of the vector indicates nothing concerning the magnitude. The length of the vector is usually used to indicate its magnitude, on a drawing.
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.
Typically "track" is used to discuss the path of an aircraft. But the term "Vector" can also be used in terms of the path of an aircraft between waypoints. "Vector" can be either heading and speed or simply heading.
Yes, if a vector doubles in magnitude with the same direction, then its components will also double in value. This is because the components of a vector are directly proportional to its magnitude in the same direction.
(55 miles per hour) is a scalar. (55 miles per hour heading north) is a vector.
It is the rate of change in the vector for a unit change in the direction under consideration. It may be calculated as the derivative of the vector in the relevant direction.
Yes, north is a vector direction because it has both magnitude (distance) and direction. It is typically represented by an arrow pointing upwards on a map.
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.
The square of a vector quantity is the vector magnitude times itself without a change in the orientation.
Acceleration is a vector quantity because it has magnitude (amount of change in velocity) and direction.
No, a vector's magnitude and direction can remain the same if it is rotated through an angle, as long as the rotation occurs around an axis that is parallel to the vector. The vector is considered unchanged in this scenario.
A change in a vector quantity can occur in its magnitude, direction, or both. This change can happen when there is acceleration or deceleration, change in velocity direction, or when there are forces acting on the object.
The same as the original vector. The scalar will change the numbers, but not the dimensions.
A positive scalar multiplied by a vector, will only change the vector's magnitude, not the direction. A negative scalar multiplied by the vector will reverse the direction by 180°.
