Frage Antworten
What Is Vector Quantity? A vector quantity has both magnitude [size] and direction in space
What Is Scalar Quantity? A scalar quantity has only magnitude [size] and NO direction in space
How Is A Vector Quantity Shown? A vector quantity is always represented by an arrow in a diagram
What Represent Its Magnitude? The length of an arrow represents its magnitude
What Shows Direction? The direction when the arrow points shows the direction
What Is The Resultant Of Two Vectors? The resultant of two vectors is that the single vector, when acting alone, has the same effect as the other two vectors
How Do You Find The Resultant Of Two Vectors? If 2 vectors are pointing in the same direction you add them if they're in opposite direction you subtract them
How Do You Find The Resultant Of Two Non-col-linear Vectors? If The vectors are not in the same straight line we use the parallelogram law to find the resultant
What Is Parallelogram Law? Parallelogram Law is if 2 vectors, drawn tail to tail, are the adjacent sides a+b & a+d of the parallelogram abcd. Then the diagonal from a to c of the parallelogram is their resultant
How Do You Find The Resultant Of Three Or More Vectors? You solve the resultant of two vectors and use R to solve with V3
How Do You Resolve A Vector Into Components? Resolving a vector into components is expressing it in terms of two vectors so that it is the resultant of these two
How Do You Calculate The Perpendicular Components? A vector of magnitude 'V' has perhendicuilar components 'X' and 'Y'. 'V' makes an angle with the component 'X'.
What Are The Magnitudes Of The Components? The magnitude of the components are; 'X' = 'V' cos (angle) for horizontal and 'Y' = 'V' sign (angle)
