What is meant by negative vector?
It is a vector that has the opposite direction to the reference positive direction. (A vector is one point in space relative to another.) Negative vector is the opposite direction
When should you express a vector along the x-axis as a negative vector?
You express a vector along the X-axis as a negative vector when the arrow representing the vector would point toward negative x.
This is a quantity that has both size and direction?
Such a quantity is called a vector. A shining example is velocity itself. velocity is the rate of change of displacement- the distance moved by particle in a specified direction. Since velocity = displacement/time taken = vector/scalar, Velocity thus has both a direction and a magnitude (magnitude = speed of particle) Another examples include quantities such as Force, acceleration, displacement
Why is magnetic induction a vector quantity?
Magnetic field induction at a point is defined as the FORCE experienced by a unit north pole placed at that point. Since force is a vector quantity, manetic field induction also becomes a vector quantitiy.
What is an explanation of Free and bound vectors?
BY -Er. Ankit gangwarFREE VECTOR-a vector of which only the magnitude and direction are specified, not the position or line of action.BOUND VECTOR-A vector whose line of application and point of application are both prescribed, in addition to its direction.
What is meant by negative vector?
It is a vector that has the opposite direction to the reference positive direction. (A vector is one point in space relative to another.) Negative vector is the opposite direction
What is the difference between position and displacement?
Position is a vector and displacement is also a vector. The difference is that, position describes a specific point relative to a reference point and displacement is the straight-line distance and direction from one point to another.
The distance from point A to point B on a grid is scalar or vector?
VECTOR
The distance from point A to point B on a grid is a vector?
true the distance from point A to point B on a grid = vector
Why is wind considered a vector field?
At each point in space, the wind has a velocity, which is a vector. Another way of saying the same thing is that at each point, the wind blows at a certain speed and in a certain direction.
What is the difference between an initial point of a vector and a terminal point?
The difference is the length of the vector.
What is the result if you subtract a velocity vector to another velocity vector?
The result will also be a velocity vector. Draw the first vector. From its tip draw the negative of the second vector ( ie a vector with the same magnitude but opposite direction). The the resultant would be the vector with the same starting point as the first vector and the same endpoint as the second. If the two vectors are equal but opposite, you end up with the null velocity vector.
Take a moment about a point in physic's static means?
In vector format, the moment can be defined as the cross product between the radius vector, r (the vector from point O to the line of action), and the force vector.
If you are given the magnitude of a vector but no directionhow can you represent this vector graphically?
You cannot, unless it is a null vector. As a point.
What is the name of the beginning point for a vector?
the end point
The distance from point A to point B on a grid?
Vector
How do you determine if -y x is a two dimensional vector or not?
(-y, x) is generally a point in the Cartesian plane - not a vector nor a scalar. You can have a vector going from any point in the plane to the point (-y, x) but that is not the same thing.
