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.
What is a unit vector?
It is a vector whose magnitude is 1.It is a vector whose magnitude is 1.It is a vector whose magnitude is 1.It is a vector whose magnitude is 1.
What is vector multiplication?
Vector multiplication is one of several techniques for the multiplication of two vectors with themselves. A vector has a magnitude and direction.
Define the unit vector?
The unit vector is a vector whose magnitude is 1.
The length of a vector indicates the magnitude of the vector?
Yes, true
Prove that if magnitude of vector A is constant then d by dt of vector A is perpendicular to vector A.?
That is not even true!
A student adds two perpendicular displacement vectors of magnitude 12 cm and 22 cmWhat is the magnitude of the resultant displacement of these two vectors?
Hence, By Pythagoras therom the resultant vector = ( 222 + 122)1/2 = 25.059cm Direction from 22cm vector = arcsin ( 12/25.059 ) = 28.6160c
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.
What is a unit vector?
It is a vector whose magnitude is 1.It is a vector whose magnitude is 1.It is a vector whose magnitude is 1.It is a vector whose magnitude is 1.
How can the resultant of two vecters of the same magnitude be equal to the magnitude of either vector?
If the directions of two vectors with equal magnitudes differ by 120 degrees, then the magnitude of their sum is equal to the magnitude of either vector.
What are two characteristics of a vector?
Direction and magnitude
Can the magnitude of resultant of two vectors of the same magnitude be equal of magnitude of either vector?
yes
What is a vector magnitude?
A vector magnitude is the number that is associated to the length of the vector.
How do you change the magnitude of the resultant vector between two if the angle between them decreases?
If the angle decreases, the magnitude of the resultant vector increases.
When sum and difference vector of two vectors are perpendicular .are the vectors too perpendicular?
Yes.
What is physical interpretation of vector space?
A vector has two properties: magnitude and direction. The representation of a vector is an arrow. The tip of the arrow points to the direction the vector is acting. The length of the arrow represents the magnitude.
Can the magnitude of the resultant of two vector be greater than the sum of magnitudes of indivisual vector?
No.
