Vectors are used whenever there is a measurement in which not only the magnitude is relevant, but also the direction. Typical uses of vectors include position, velocity, acceleration, force, torque, and others.

How can you add vectors tip to tail to find the resultant vector?

To add vectors tip to tail to find the resultant vector, place the tail of the second vector at the tip of the first vector. The resultant vector is the vector that starts at the tail of the first vector and ends at the tip of the second vector.

How can you find a unit vector in the same direction as the given vector?

Divide the vector by it's length (magnitude).


How do you find the location of resultant?

To find the location of the resultant, you can use the parallelogram rule or the triangle rule of vector addition. Locate the endpoints of the vectors you are adding, draw the resultant vector connecting the initial point of the first vector to the terminal point of the last vector, and then find the coordinates of the endpoint of the resultant vector.


Vector method to find out the acceleration of a particle is -wwrwhere angular velocity is w?

To find the acceleration of a particle using the vector method, you can use the equation a = r x (w x v), where "a" is the acceleration, "r" is the position vector, "w" is the angular velocity vector, and "v" is the velocity vector. The cross product (x) represents the vector cross product. By taking the cross product of the angular velocity vector with the velocity vector and then multiplying the result by the position vector, you can find the acceleration of the particle.


What is the reverse process of vectors addition?

reverse process of vector addition is vector resolution.


How do you find vector components when given the vectors are parallel and the magnitude of each vector is equal to 1?

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.


How do you find the component of a vector perpendicular to another vector?

The component of a vector x perpendicular to the vector y is x*y*sin(A) where A is the angle between the two vectors.

How to find the direction of a vector?

To find the direction of a vector, you can use trigonometry. First, calculate the angle the vector makes with the positive x-axis. This angle is called the direction angle. You can use the arctangent function to find this angle. The direction of the vector is then given by the direction angle measured counterclockwise from the positive x-axis.
