If the components are in the i and j directions, for example, then if the vector is mi + nj then the coefficients m and n can be used to find the magnitude and direction.
The magnitude is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs m and n, so it is sqrt(m² + n²).

How a vector can be expressed polar component?
I will assume a vector in a plane - in two dimensions. The idea of polar coordinates is that the vector is expressed as its length, and an angle. If you already have the vector in rectangular coordinates, i.e. the x and y components, most scientific calculators have a function that might be labelled R->P, to convert from rectangular coordinates to polar coordinates. Otherwise, use basic trigonometry - but using the specialized function is much faster, if your calculator has it.
Is angle a vector?
This isn't a simple yes or no question.An angle is a scalar quantity, and a vector is a ... well, vector... quantity. However, there is a relation between the two, and in two dimensions (for example) it's possible to specify a vector in terms of its magnitude and a "vector angle"; that is, the angle it makes with an axis (generally the x-axis, by convention) of the coordinate system.Sometimes the word "vector" is used in a non-mathematical sense to simply mean a direction, not a magnitude. (One example would be in navigation, where the "vector" to another object is the direction it's in; range is treated separately, though in the mathematical sense vector encompasses both direction and range.) In this case it can be more or less equivalent to an angle.
A scalar is a quantity that has?
A scalar quantity has an angle which is an even multiple of 90 degrees. A vector quantity has an angle which is an odd multiple of 90 degrees. A quaternion has any angle and includes the scalar and the vector; quaternion q = cos(angle) + unit-vector sin(angle)
Is solid angle a vector or scalar quantity?
Solid angle is vector quantity. BY WAHID BUX MAHAR
Two or more velocities can be combined by?
Velocity is a vector quantity(it has a direction). Simply use the vector adding method to combine velocities.
What is the angle between the given vector and the positive direction of the x-axis Round the answer to the nearest degree i plus 14 j?
Just use the rectangular-to-polar conversion on your scientific calculator. That will give you the length of the vector, and its angle.
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.
In a 2 - dimensional cartesian coordinate system the y-component of a given vector is equal to the vector magnitude multiplied by which trigonometric function with respect to the angle between vector?
I disagree with the last response. It is implied that the angle you are speaking of is the angle between the x-axis and the vector (this conventionally where the angle of a vector is always measured from). The function you are asking about is the sine function. previous answer: This question is incorrect, first of all you have to tell the angle between vector and what other thing is formed?
What can you say about two vectors if vector A vector B 0?
Depends on the situation. Vector A x Vector B= 0 when the sine of the angle between them is 0 Vector A . Vector B= 0 when the cosine of the angle between them is 0 Vector A + Vector B= 0 when Vectors A and B have equal magnitude but opposite direction.
What is the angle between vector a and vector b when mode of vector a plus vector b is equal to mode of vector a minus vector b?
90 degrees
What is the flight path?
HELLO, im a bus driver and i can say that the (FPA )flight path angle is the angle Between the local horizontal and the local velocity vector , One can also support that is the angle between the local velocity vector and The torque vector, torque being opposite to drag, merci
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 do you find the dot product ab of two vectors if you know their lengths and the angle between them?
<ab> = |a|*|b|*cos(x) where |a| is the length of the vector a, |b| is the length of the vector b, and x is the angle between them.
Define the angle of the resultant vector?
The resultant vector is the vector that 'results' from adding two or more vectors together. This vector will create some angle with the x -axis and this is the angle of the resultant vector.
The angle between two vector force of magnitude?
using the "dot product" formula, you can find the angle. where |a| denotes the length (magnitude) of a. More generally, if b is another vector : where |a| and |b| denote the length of a and b and θis the angle between them. Thus, given two vectors, the angle between them can be found by rearranging the above formula: : :

Vector A plus vector B equals 2i and vectorA-vectorB equals 4j then angle between vectorA and vectorB is?
I've got to assume that your ' i ' and your ' j ' are the same thing.Vector A = j3Vector B = -j1The angle between them is (pi).
