In physics intensity is the energy density (that is, the energy per unit volume) multiplied it by the velocity at which the energy is moving. The resulting vector has the units of power divided by area, that is in watts per m². It is possible to define the intensity of the water coming from a garden sprinkler, but intensity is used most frequently with waves (i.e. sound or light).

Can Distance be fully described with a magnitude and a unit?

Distance can be fully described with a magnitude and a unit. It is a scalar quantity, which means it has a magnitude (numerical value) but not a direction. A related quantity is displacement, which is the straight line distance from a starting point to an ending point. Displacement is a vector quantity, so it can only be fully described with a magnitude, a unit, and and direction.


Can a unit vector have any components with magnitude greater than unity?

No, by definiton, a unit vector is a vector with a magnitude equal to unity.


If a vector quantity is divided by its magnitude the vector obtained is called?

The vector obtained by dividing a vector by its magnitude is called a unit vector. Unit vectors have a magnitude of 1 and represent only the direction of the original vector.


Is the vector (I j k) a unit vector?

No, the vector (I j k) is not a unit vector. In the context of unit vectors, a unit vector has a magnitude of 1. The vector (I j k) does not have a magnitude of 1.


What is the magnitude of a unit vector and how is it calculated?

The magnitude of a unit vector is always 1. To calculate the magnitude of a vector, you can use the formula: magnitude sqrt(x2 y2 z2), where x, y, and z are the components of the vector in three-dimensional space.


Define the unit vector?
