Which of this two quantities is not a vector quantity magnetic field or charge?
Charge is not a vector.
Why the product of two vectors is sometime scalar and sometime vector?
Because there are two different ways of computing the product of two vectors, one of which yields a scalar quantity while the other yields a vector quantity.This isn't a "sometimes" thing: the dot product of two vectors is always scalar, while the cross product of two vectors is always a vector.
Why is magnetic field vector a pseudo vector?
It is the cross product of two vectors. The cross product of two vectors is always a pseudo-vector. This is related to the fact that A x B is not the same as B x A: in the case of the cross product, A x B = - (B x A).
Why work is scalar but product of two vector?
The product of two vectors can be done in two different ways. The result of one way is another vector. The result of the other way is a scalar ... that's why that method is called the "scalar product". The way it's done is (magnitude of one vector) times (magnitude of the other vector) times (cosine of the angle between them).
What is the result of two quantities being multiplied?
Product
What two quantities are neccesarz to determine a vector quantities?
It is necessary to know the magnitude and the direction of the vector.
Which of this two quantities is not a vector quantity magnetic field or charge?
Charge is not a vector.
Is weight scalar or vector quantity?
scalar, produced by the scalar product of two vector quantities ... Force · Distance
Why vector quantities cannot be added and subtracted like scalar quantities?
Mainly because they aren't scalar quantities. A vector in the plane has two components, an x-component and a y-component. If you have the x and y components for each vector, you can add them separately. This is very similar to the addition of scalar quantities; what you can't add directly, of course, is their lengths. Similarly, a vector in space has three components; you can add each of the components separately.
Similarities between scalar and vector quantities?
Scalar quantities - quantities that only include magnitude Vector quantities - quantities with both magnitude and direction
When two vector combine form scalar quantity give example?
Two vector quantities can be combined into a scalar quantity because a vector lives in a vector space, which requires the existence of an operation called the dot product (also commonly known as the scalar product or inner product). The exact form of this operation depends on the type of vector space, and of course one can define other operations which map two vectors into a scalar. A commonly used definition is as follows: Imagine vector one contains these values (x1, x2, x3, x4) and vector two contains these values (y1, y2, y3, y4), the dot product would turn this into: x1*y1 + x2*y2 + x3*y3 + x4*y4 The dot product gives a measure of the angle between two vectors and is often used as such in for example mechanics.
Give two examples of vector quantities?
Velocity, acceleration, displacement, there are a lot.
Is position a vector quantities?
Yes, it is a vector quantity.
Is it possible to multiply a vector quantity to a scalar quantity?
The product of scalar and vector quantity is scalar.
How does the magnitude of a vector relate to the dot product?
The magnitude of dot product of two vectors is equal to the product of first vector to the component of second vector in the direction of first. for ex.- A.B=ABcos@
Where is the resultant vector lies when dot product of two vector is done?
arithmetic mean
In order to increase momentum we must increase either the object's?
Momentum is the product of velocity x speed, so you can increase any of the two. Please note that velocity, and therefore also momentum, are vector quantities.
