How would momentum be considered a vector?
momentum is mass x velocity and velocity is a vector and mass is scalar but scalar times vector = vector so momentum remains a vector
How can a null vector be a vector if there is no direction?
It has magnitude 0 and a direction and obeys vector laws, so is a vector
What is magnitude - like in a vector?
Here's a vector: "30 miles an hour, going north"The name of that vector is "velocity". It has a magnitude and a direction. Themagnitude of this velocity is 30 miles an hour. We usually call that "speed".The direction of this velocity is "north".The magnitude tells how big the vector is. The direction tells which way it points."30 miles an hour" is not a velocity. It's a speed. Speed is only the magnitude ofa velocity vector, because it has no direction. Once we know the direction, we canput it together with the magnitude, and we'll have a vector, called "velocity".
What is meant by negative vector?
It is a vector that has the opposite direction to the reference positive direction. (A vector is one point in space relative to another.) Negative vector is the opposite direction
A scalar quantity has what?
A size but no direction. Mass is a scalar but the force we call weight is a vector: it always points down.
The direction of a vector that points somewhere between due north and due east is measured in?
degrees
How does a vector represents distance and direction?
A vector is like an arrow. It points in the relevant direction and its length is a measure of the distance.
What vector in a system points in the same direction as the linear momentum vector?
The energy vector, cmV = cP. The energy vector is parallel to the Momentum vector.
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.
Vector rm vec A points in the negative y direction and has a magnitude of 11 units Vector rm vec B has twice the magnitude and points in the positive x direction.?

Is a force scalar or vector?
It's a vector, and I believe it always points upward.
What do you mean by mean vector in statistics?
The direction in which the trend analysis points.
What is the direction of null vector?
There are two possible answers to this; a) It has no direction b) It points in all directions Answer a is really more true, as the notion of a null vector precludes any notion of a direction, but the correct answer is b.
How would momentum be considered a vector?
momentum is mass x velocity and velocity is a vector and mass is scalar but scalar times vector = vector so momentum remains a vector
What does the pointing vector represent?
A vector already points, without needing an extra. I wonder if you mean "Poynting Vector" which shows the direction and magnitude of power flow in radiation.
Why isn't the sum of two vectors a scalar?
A vector has direction, where as a scalar does not. When you add two vectors, it is like you are moving one vector to the end of the other vector, and closing off the triangle with a vector for the third side. That third vector is the addition of the first two vectors. The new vector points in a specific direction, so it cannot be a scalar.
How can a null vector be a vector if there is no direction?
It has magnitude 0 and a direction and obeys vector laws, so is a vector
