Where do the thrust gravity lift and drag vector arrows go?

Thrust would point in the direction of travel. Drag would counter thrust, so generally in a direction 180 degrees from the thrust vector's direction. The lift vector would point in the direction (generally) away from the center of the earth. The gravity vector would point toward the center of the earth.


Is specific gravity a vector or scalar quantity?

Gravity is a force, and forces have magnitude and direction; hence, it is a vector.


The vertical component is influenced by?

The vertical component of a vector is influenced by factors such as gravity, the direction of the vector, and the angle at which the vector is tilted with respect to the vertical axis. It represents the magnitude of the vector in the vertical direction.


Is gravity a vector measurement?

The acceleration and force of gravity are vectors.


What is the specific gravity of something?

Vector


What is the term for motion determined by gravity?

The term for motion determined by gravity is mcV. This term is the vector energy determined by gravity. The motion energy involves the vector velocity V. The scalar value of the vector is SQRT(GM/r), determined by gravity. The total energy determined by gravity is quaternion energy, consisting of the real Potential Energy (-mu/r) and the vector energy (mcV): E= -GmM/r + mcV = -mu/r + mcV


Is the force of gravity is a vector?

Yes. It results in a force that has a magnitude and a direction, and this is the definition of a force vector.


Is centre of gravity a vector quantity or scalar quantity?

It's a 0th order tensor, also known as a scalar.


Is weight is a sc alar or vector quantity?

Weight is a vector quantity. Weight is the mass of a body times the acceleration due to gravity, which is a vector quantity. Weight is in the downward direction.


Is upthrust a vector?

No, upthrust is not a vector. It is a force that acts in the opposite direction to the force of gravity on an object. It is a scalar quantity and only has a magnitude, not a direction.


Is specific gravity scalar or vector?

Specific gravity is a scalar quantity. It is defined as the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance, typically water. Since it does not have a direction associated with it, it is classified as a scalar rather than a vector.


How do you prove that weight is a vector quantity?

You don't need to prove much - just look at the definition of a vector. A vector includes a magnitude (in this case the force), and a direction. Since weight (or "the force of gravity") is directed to a certain direction, namely downward, you can consider it a vector.You don't need to prove much - just look at the definition of a vector.
