When adding vectors in one dimension what does the length of arrows represent?
The magnitudes of the vectors. apexs
Commonly used vectors include what?
Vectors have a lot of applications in physics and engineering. Velocity, acceleration and forces are vectors. For example, you can use vectors to determine the total distance travelled by a boat travelling across a river at 25 miles/hour while the river flows perpendicular to the boat at 10 miles/hour. There are loads of other applications. Vectors can be used to predict the movement of planets in their orbits, and are useful for 3D geometry in general. Vectors are also essential in electromagnetics, where they are used to represent electric and magnetic fields and their relationships. Maxwell's equations are equations which use vectors. The Poynting vector is used to calculate the flow of electromagnetic energy through space, for example by radio waves or light.
Forces can be indicate on graph paper by the use of?
vectors is the anwser.... for sure...
When adding vectors in one dimension which the following could the length of the arrows represent?
The length of the arrows could represent either the magnitude or the direction of the vectors. If the length represents magnitude, longer arrows would represent larger magnitudes of the vectors. If the length represents direction, the arrows would be all the same length, but pointing in different directions to represent different vectors.
Positive acceleration differ from negative acceleration?
Yes. Mathematically, they have opposite signs. So they are opposing vectors. In terms of physics, they represent the effects of forces acting in opposite directions.
