Is inertia is a scalar or vector?

vector


Is Inertia vector or scalor?

Inertia is a tensor quantity, which means it has both magnitude and direction. It is not solely a vector or scalar.


Is moment scalar or vector?

Is moment scalar or vector and why? Scalar has magnitude, but no direction. Vector has magitude and direction. Speed is a scalar. The car's speed is 25mi/hr. No direction is mentioned. Velocity is a vector. The car is traveling 25 mi/hr 20º North of East. Velocity is a vector, because it has magnitude and direction Moment has two meanings Moment of inertia = ∑ Mass* raidus^2 This moment measures how difficult it is to rotate an object. This moment is a scalar. Moment can also mean torque. Torque = Force x distance* sinθ (cross product). However torque can be clockwise or counter-clockwise. So torque is a vector.


What is a scalar times a vector?

A scalar times a vector is a vector.


Can you add a scalar to a vector?

Yes, you can add a scalar to a vector by adding the scalar value to each component of the vector.


Is time a scalar or a vector?

Scalar


Multiplying or dividing vectors by scalars results in what?

When multiplying a vector by a scalar, each component of the vector is multiplied by the scalar. This operation changes the magnitude of the vector but not its direction. Similarly, dividing a vector by a scalar involves dividing each component of the vector by the scalar.


Is earthquake a scalar or vector?

An earthquake is neither a scalar nor a vector. It is an event.


What is a scalar multiplied by a vector?

A scalar multiplied by a vector involves multiplying each component of the vector by the scalar value. This operation scales the vector's magnitude while retaining its direction if the scalar is positive, or reversing its direction if the scalar is negative. The result is a new vector that has the same direction as the original (or the opposite direction if the scalar is negative) but a different magnitude.

Can you multiply a vector and a scalar?

Yes, you can multiply a vector by a scalar. The scalar will multiply each component of the vector by the same value, resulting in a new vector with each component scaled by that value.
