The distance from point A to point B on a grid is scalar or vector?
VECTOR
Is mass a vector measurement?
No, it's a scalar measurement because it has magnitude only. A vector measurement has both a magnitude and a direction.
What does it mean when we say a vector is scaled?
It means that the direction of the vector is that same as before but the magnitude has been changed - by a scalar factor.
How many scaler equations in Maxwell's equations?
Maxwell's equations contain two scalar equations and two vector equations. Gauss' law and Gauss' law for magnetism are the scalar equations. The Maxwell-Faraday equation and Ampere's circuital law are the vector equations.
If 15 indicates 15 steps up then 15 indicates steps down.?
It depends on whether the "15" is a vector or a scalar. If it is a scalar then it indicates 15 steps in any direction. Only if it is a vector is the direction specified and then, 15 is the same number of steps in the opposite direction.
Is inertia a vector or scalar?
Inertia is a scalar quantity. It is a measure of an object's resistance to changes in its state of motion and is directly proportional to its mass. Inertia does not have a direction associated with it, so it is considered a scalar.
Is Inertia vector or scalor?
Inertia is a tensor quantity, which means it has both magnitude and direction. It is not solely a vector or scalar.
Is moment scalar or vector?
Is moment scalar or vector and why? Scalar has magnitude, but no direction. Vector has magitude and direction. Speed is a scalar. The car's speed is 25mi/hr. No direction is mentioned. Velocity is a vector. The car is traveling 25 mi/hr 20º North of East. Velocity is a vector, because it has magnitude and direction Moment has two meanings Moment of inertia = ∑ Mass* raidus^2 This moment measures how difficult it is to rotate an object. This moment is a scalar. Moment can also mean torque. Torque = Force x distance* sinθ (cross product). However torque can be clockwise or counter-clockwise. So torque is a vector.
What is a scalar times a vector?
A scalar times a vector is a vector.
Is time a scalar or a vector?
Scalar
Multiplying or dividing vectors by scalars results in what?
When multiplying a vector by a scalar, each component of the vector is multiplied by the scalar. This operation changes the magnitude of the vector but not its direction. Similarly, dividing a vector by a scalar involves dividing each component of the vector by the scalar.
Is earthquake a scalar or vector?
An earthquake is neither a scalar nor a vector. It is an event.
Is power a vector or scalar?
vector
Is charge scalar or vector?
vector
Can you multiply a vector and a scalar?
Yes, you can multiply a vector by a scalar. The scalar will multiply each component of the vector by the same value, resulting in a new vector with each component scaled by that value.
Is conductivity a vector or scalar quantity?
Scalar
What is speed a scalar or vector quantity?
scalar
