What can be used to represent the strength and direction of a force?
A vector can represent the direction and strength of a force.
Can be used to represent the direction and strength of a force?
A vector can represent the direction and strength of a force.
How do you calculate the size of the resultant force in physics?
You have to learn vector addition. This can be done graphically, or by algebraically by adding components.
What does the length of a vector of a arrow represent?
Magnitude of the force.
What is meant by the magnitude of force?
A force is a vector - in two dimensions, you can represent it on paper as an arrow. Such vector/arrows have a size, and a direction. The size is usually called the "magnitude".
If you are given the magnitude of a vector but no directionhow can you represent this vector graphically?
You cannot, unless it is a null vector. As a point.
Can you graphically represent a vector which has magnitude but no direction?
If a quantity does not have a direction, its a scalar quantity, not a vector quantity.
What can be used to represent the strength and direction of a force?
A vector can represent the direction and strength of a force.
Can be used to represent the direction and strength of a force?
A vector can represent the direction and strength of a force.
How do you calculate the size of the resultant force in physics?
You have to learn vector addition. This can be done graphically, or by algebraically by adding components.
How a vector represented?
A vector is represented graphically as an arrow. The direction indicates the direction, the length is proportional to the magnitude of the vector. Note that it is difficult to accurately represent vectors of 3 or more dimensions on a 2-dimensional sheet of paper.
What does the length of a vector of a arrow represent?
Magnitude of the force.
Why can vectors be used to represent forces?
A vector is a quantity with magnitude and direction. Since force has magnitude and direction, it is a vector
What is meant by magnitude of force?
A force is a vector - in two dimensions, you can represent it on paper as an arrow. Such vector/arrows have a size, and a direction. The size is usually called the "magnitude".
When you add vectors graphically you draw arrows to represent the vectors How do you know how long to draw the arrows?
To know the Length of the Vector represented on the graph you have to first know the unit you are representing on it. Say the Vector being represented is a distance of 3 Km, You would have to first create a scale for the graph showing a shortened version of it. (Ex. 1Cm=.5km) ______________ The length of the arrow is in proportion to the force that the vector exerts on the body.
What is meant by the magnitude of force?
A force is a vector - in two dimensions, you can represent it on paper as an arrow. Such vector/arrows have a size, and a direction. The size is usually called the "magnitude".
Velocity is represented graphically by an what?
By an arrow, a vector. Velocity is a vector quantity that must have both magnitude (speed) and direction (bearing).
