Back

30 degrees East of North

Front

Which of the following describes the vector above?

Back

Front

If vector A has a y component of 12 units and an x component of 7 units, which would allow you to solve for the MAGNITUDE of vector A?

Back

Front

A resultant vector is __________.

Back

equal to the sum of two or more vectors.

Front

What is the formula for finding the magnitude of a vector given its components?

Back

Front

What does the term 'direction' refer to in vector analysis?

Back

The orientation of the vector in space, often expressed in degrees.

Front

What is the difference between a scalar and a vector?

Back

A scalar has only magnitude, while a vector has both magnitude and direction.

Front

How do you represent a vector graphically?

Back

As an arrow, where the length represents magnitude and the arrowhead indicates direction.

Front

What is the significance of the angle in vector addition?

Back

It determines how vectors combine to form a resultant vector.
