Vectors are often represented by arrows whose length is proportional to the magnitude of the vector. The arrowhead points to the direction the vector is acting. You'll have to decide if such an arrow fits your definition of a line.

Is burger vector and dislocation line both lie in one plane in sessile dislocation?

>> Burger vector and dislocation line both not lie in single active slip plane in sessile dislocation.


When two points on a line are used to name the line the points can be given in either order?

False. * * * * * No, it is true. It is false if the line is a vector but not otherwise.


What is the dot product of two rectangular components of a vector?

a vector is a line with direction and distance. there is no answer to your question. the dot is the angular relationship between two vectors.


Examples of subtraction of vectors?

HelloAnswer to your QuestionSuppose we have to subtract vector B from the vector A.We can write it ARITHMETICALLY asA-B= A+(-B)Now we can determine the resultant of A and negative vector (-B) by usual adition of vectors method.Hence, according to fig. draw the representative line PQ of first vector A. Now draw the representative line Qr of the vectore B from the head of vector A in opposite direction . Join P to R, then PR represents the resultant vector C, i.e.,C = A-B----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------This is an example for subtraction of vector.By the ways if you want any other details from my side you can talk to me on my live id Dove_786@live.com.THANKS,Nawal Fatima.Pakistan..----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------HelloAnswer to your QuestionSuppose we have to subtract vector B from the vector A.We can write it ARITHMETICALLY asA-B= A+(-B)Now we can determine the resultant of A and negative vector (-B) by usual adition of vectors method.Hence, according to fig. draw the representative line PQ of first vector A.

What does a vertical line going downward represent?

If the "line" has a direction, it is a vector. Algebraic "lines" have no end nor beginning and so cannot "go" down nor up.

How do you pronounce a straight line above the vowel a?

The line above a letter in mathematics means a vector whose mane is the letter. So it is pronounced "vector a"


How can simultaneous vectors be combined to form a resultant vector using pencil and paper?

Start with a point O. Draw a line OA in the direction of the first vector and whose length represents the magnitude of that vector (to some scale). From A, draw the line AB in the direction of the second vector and whose length represents the magnitude of that second vector (to the same scale). Then the direction and length of the straight line OB represent the direction and (to the same scale) the magnitude of the resultant vector.


Given that you know the length of a line one end point and a point on the line what is the other end point?

Point begin B, point end E (unknown) known point on line A compute vector BA, norm it (divide by its norm) then multiply the normed vector by the length of the line ; this vector BE. From there, get coord of E


What is a zonoid?

A zonoid is a vector sum of line segments.


Is the Cartesian coordinates a scalar or a vector or neither?

A vector is a magnitude with a direction, so if you have a line that is +2 on the x-axis and +2 on the y-axis, that would be a vector.


What is sliding vector?

Take a moment about a point in physic's static means?

In vector format, the moment can be defined as the cross product between the radius vector, r (the vector from point O to the line of action), and the force vector.


How vectors quantities be represented graphically?

They can be represented by a line made with a #2 pencil. The length of the line is made proportional to the magnitude of the vector, and some kind of identifying mark is made on or near one end of the line to show the direction of the vector.
