Define the terms scalar and vector?

scalar has only a magnitude vector has both magnitude and direction


What two pieces of information are necessary in order to define vector quantity?

To define a vector quantity, you need both magnitude (the numerical value) and direction. This combination of magnitude and direction is what distinguishes vector quantities from scalar quantities, which only have magnitude.


Define the unit vector?

The unit vector is a vector whose magnitude is 1.


Define the angle of the equilibrant vector?

vector equal in magnitude and opposite direction


What two pieces of information are necessary in order to define a vector quantity?

To define a vector quantity, you need both magnitude (size or length) and direction. For example, in physics, velocity is a vector quantity that requires both the speed (magnitude) and the direction in which an object is moving to be fully described.


What two vectors does a vector have?

It has both velocity and direction. A vector has direction and magnitude.


What value is used to define an earthquake as small on the moment magnitude scale?

The length of the fault rupture, the relative displacement of the fault and the elastic modulus of the rocks affected, where the smaller these values, the smaller the magnitude of the earthquake. Also the amplitude of seismic waves can be used to estimate the moment magnitude and the smaller the amplitude, the lower the magnitude.


What is the third biggest volcano in Iceland?

That depends on how you define "biggest". If it is by area, then it is and unanswerable question. If it is by eruption magnitude, then it is probably Hekla.


Can we have physical quantities which have magnitude and direction but are not vectors if yes how?

yes we can have. for eg electric current, pressure etc though these quantities have both magnitude and direction their directions are not necessary to define them and vectors are those quantities which has magnitude and requires direction to be defined " quantities having both magnitude and direction is a vector" is not a corrrect definition ofa vector


Can anybody define interaction pair?

"A force pair composed of two forces that are opposite in direction and equal in magnitude." - Glencoe Physics


What info do you need to define vector quantity?

To define a vector quantity, you need to specify both its magnitude (size) and its direction in space. This is essential in distinguishing vector quantities from scalar quantities, which only have magnitude.Vectors can also be expressed in terms of their components along each coordinate axis.


What is the apparent brightness of the stars?

Astronomers define star brightness in terms of apparent magnitude how bright the star appears from Earth and absolute magnitude how bright the star appears at a standard distance of 32.6 light-years, or 10 parsecs.
