WHAT POSITION VECTOR?

A position vector is a vector that represents the location of a point in space relative to a reference point or origin. It specifies the distance and direction from the origin to the point. In three-dimensional space, a position vector is typically denoted as <x, y, z>.


In 2 dimensional kinematics can the x component of a vector be great than the vector itself?

No.


Which describes a grid motion transformation in geometry?

In 2 dimensional space it is a translation vector which is a 2x1 column vector.


What does the modulus of a vector equal?

The modulus of a vector is its absolute value. It is the [positive] size or magnitude of the vector, ignoring its direction.In two dimensional space, and using Pythagoras,the modulus of the vector (x,y) is sqrt(x^2 + y^2)In 3-dimensional space, the modulus of the vector (x, y, z) is sqrt(x^2 + y^2 + z^2)The concept can be extended to higher dimensions analogously.


Is position scalar or vector?

Position is a vector quantity.


What is position vector in physics?

A position vector tells us the position of an object with reference to the origin


Starting from a location with position vector, what is the direction to the keyword?

Starting from a location with a position vector, the direction to the keyword can be determined by calculating the angle between the position vector and the vector pointing towards the keyword.


Can a vector have a component equal to zero and still have a nonzero magnitude?

Yes. For instance, the 2-dimensional vector (1,0) has length sqrt(1+0) = 1 A vector only has zero magnitude when all its components are 0.


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.


Is position a vector quantities?

Yes, it is a vector quantity.


What is the difference between zero and vector zero?

The zero vector occurs in any dimensional space and acts as the vector additive identity element. It in one dimensional space it can be <0>, and in two dimensional space it would be<0,0>, and in n- dimensional space it would be <0,0,0,0,0,....n of these> The number 0 is a scalar. It is the additive identity for scalars. The zero vector has length zero. Scalars don't really have length. ( they can represent length of course, such as the norm of a vector) We can look at the distance from the origin, but then aren't we thinking of them as vectors? So the zero vector, even <0>, tells us something about direction since it is a vector and the zero scalar does not. Now I think and example will help. Add the vectors <2,2> and <-2,-2> and you have the zero vector. That is because we are adding two vectors of the same magnitude that point in opposite direction. The zero vector and be considered to point in any direction. So in summary we have to state the obvious, the zero vector is a vector and the number zero is a scalar.


What can describe the displacement of an object?

The displacement of an object is the change in position of the object from its initial position to its final position. It is a vector quantity that has both magnitude and direction. Mathematically, it can be calculated by subtracting the initial position vector from the final position vector.
