This isn't a simple yes or no question.
An angle is a scalar quantity, and a vector is a ... well, vector... quantity. However, there is a relation between the two, and in two dimensions (for example) it's possible to specify a vector in terms of its magnitude and a "vector angle"; that is, the angle it makes with an axis (generally the x-axis, by convention) of the coordinate system.
Sometimes the word "vector" is used in a non-mathematical sense to simply mean a direction, not a magnitude. (One example would be in navigation, where the "vector" to another object is the direction it's in; range is treated separately, though in the mathematical sense vector encompasses both direction and range.) In this case it can be more or less equivalent to an angle.
What else can I help you with?
Is the magnitude of a vector the same as the angle formed by the vector?
No, the magnitude of a vector is the length of the vector, while the angle formed by a vector is the direction in which the vector points relative to a reference axis. These are separate properties of a vector that describe different aspects of its characteristics.
How to find the direction of a vector?
To find the direction of a vector, you can use trigonometry. First, calculate the angle the vector makes with the positive x-axis. This angle is called the direction angle. You can use the arctangent function to find this angle. The direction of the vector is then given by the direction angle measured counterclockwise from the positive x-axis.
How to calculate the direction of a vector?
To calculate the direction of a vector, you can use trigonometry. Find the angle the vector makes with the positive x-axis using the arctangent function. This angle represents the direction of the vector in relation to the x-axis.
How to determine the direction of a vector?
To determine the direction of a vector, you can use trigonometry. Find the angle the vector makes with the positive x-axis using the arctangent function. This angle represents the direction of the vector in relation to the x-axis.
Is vector necessarily changed if it is rotated through an angle?
No, a vector is not necessarily changed just by being rotated through an angle. The magnitude and direction of the vector may remain the same even after rotation.
Define the angle of the resultant vector?
The resultant vector is the vector that 'results' from adding two or more vectors together. This vector will create some angle with the x -axis and this is the angle of the resultant vector.
Is there any change in the vector if there is change in angle?
Yes, changing the angle of a vector will result in a change in its direction. The magnitude of the vector remains the same, but the direction it points in will be different.
Is angle scalar or vector?
Almost all of us would say that angle is a scalar quantity. But the beauty is that angle is a vector quantity. Now the question arises. Where will be the direction? As we measure the angle in a plane in counter clockwise direction, then direction of angle vector will be perpendicular to the plane and coming out of the surface. If the angle is measured in clockwise then vector would go into the surface normally. As angle becomes vector then angular velocity w = @/t also becomes a vector.
Is the magnitude of a vector the same as the angle formed by the vector?
No, the magnitude of a vector is the length of the vector, while the angle formed by a vector is the direction in which the vector points relative to a reference axis. These are separate properties of a vector that describe different aspects of its characteristics.

In a 2 - dimensional cartesian coordinate system the y-component of a given vector is equal to the vector magnitude multiplied by which trigonometric function with respect to the angle between vector?
I disagree with the last response. It is implied that the angle you are speaking of is the angle between the x-axis and the vector (this conventionally where the angle of a vector is always measured from). The function you are asking about is the sine function. previous answer: This question is incorrect, first of all you have to tell the angle between vector and what other thing is formed?
What will be the angle if the vector have equal magnitude?
The angle can have any value.
What is the angle between vector a and vector b when mode of vector a plus vector b is equal to mode of vector a minus vector b?
90 degrees
What can you say about two vectors if vector A vector B 0?
Depends on the situation. Vector A x Vector B= 0 when the sine of the angle between them is 0 Vector A . Vector B= 0 when the cosine of the angle between them is 0 Vector A + Vector B= 0 when Vectors A and B have equal magnitude but opposite direction.
How do you change the magnitude of the resultant vector between two if the angle between them decreases?
If the angle decreases, the magnitude of the resultant vector increases.
Define the angle of the equilibrant vector?
vector equal in magnitude and opposite direction
