How a vector can be express in term of its rectangular component?
A vector can be represented in terms of its rectangular components for example : V= Ix + Jy + Kz I, J and K are the rectangular vector direction components and x, y and z are the scalar measures along the components.
Which are the three vectors that act along the mutually perpendicular direction?
cross product of tow vector result in a vector which is perpendicular the multiplying vector then these three vector are perpedicular
If one component of a vector A is zero along the direction of another vector B then in what direction the two vectors will be?
opposite direction.
What is total force in physics?
Total force (or net force) is the vector sum of the individual forces. Huh? OK, if all forces are along the x-axis, you add the positive forces and subtract the negative forces -- force is a vector, a quantity having a size and a direction.
Why two objects move in opposite direction one will have positive momentum and other negative momentum?
Quite simply, this means that momentum is a vector quantity; the direction is relevant. This is useful, for example, for calculations involving the conservation of momentum. Actually momentum is the product of velocity and mass, and velocity is also a vector quantity - thus, in this example, one object will have a positive velocity (more precisely: a positive component of the velocity along the x-axis, for example), the other, negative. Multiplying this velocity by the mass will also give a quantity which may be positive or negative (or rather, have positive or negative components).
When should you express a vector along the x axis as a negative vector?
When the arrow representing the vector would point toward negative x.
Is a torque vector quantity?
Yes. The "direction" of the vector is along the axis of rotation.Yes. The "direction" of the vector is along the axis of rotation.Yes. The "direction" of the vector is along the axis of rotation.Yes. The "direction" of the vector is along the axis of rotation.

What are the projections of a vector along the axes of a coordinate system?
A tangent of the vector is the projection of a vector along the axes of a coordinate system.
A vector a is along the positive z axis and it's vector product with another vector b is zero then vector b could be?
Vector b would be along the z axis, it could have any magnitude.
Can a vector directed along x-axis have y-axis component?
At what angle should a vector be directed to so that its x component is equal to its y component
Is costheta is a vector?
No. Cos theta (Cos θ) is a trigonometric function. A vector is any physical quantity which has both magnitude and direction. For example, Displacement. Displacement has a magnitude like 240m or 0 or 13 m, etc. It also depends on the direction. If an object moves along the positive direction of x-axis, then the displacement will have a positive sign and if it moves along the negative direction of x-axis, then displacement will be negative. Thus, it has both direction and magnitude and so is a vector. Cos theta is a trigonometric function, strictly speaking.
Which are the three vectors that act along the mutually perpendicular direction?
cross product of tow vector result in a vector which is perpendicular the multiplying vector then these three vector are perpedicular
Vector V 1 is 6.6 units long and points along the negative x axis Vector V 2 is 8.5 units long and points at 55 to the positive x axisWhat are the x and y components of vector V 1?
The x component of V1 is -6.6 the y component of V1 is 0.
If vector A is perpendicular to vector B and C then Vector A is parallel to?
Vector A is parallel to the cross product of vectors B and C, and it is parallel to the axis that neither B or C lie along if the two other axes are defined as the axes that B and C lie along.
If the component of vector A along the direction of vector B is zero. What can you conclude about these two vectors?
Their directions are perpendicular.
If one component of a vector A is zero along the direction of another vector B then in what direction the two vectors will be?
opposite direction.
